A CONCERT of folk songs can be heard in Portesham village hall on Sunday.

The Ridgeway singers, musicians and choir are presenting To Hear the Nightingales Sing.

This South Dorset Ridgeway Landscape Partnership Project is the culmination of a series of workshops held over the summer, where those taking part explored the local folk song repertoire and practised the art of solo folksong performance.

The concert will feature solo performances, choral arrangements and instrumental interludes drawn from one of England’s most important repositories of traditional song.

This project is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
