A Weymouth choir is preparing to bring songs of the sea, sunshine and storms to St Mary's Church later this month.

Wacapella, the town's women's a capella choir, will perform a light-hearted half-hour concert at the church in St Mary Street on Friday, September 25.

The performance begins at 11am and will feature music inspired by the coast, including songs celebrating the sea, summer sunshine and even a "timbershiverer" of a storm.

Audience members are invited to stay after the concert for coffee and cake with the singers.

Admission is free, although donations will be welcomed to support the choir.

The event offers an opportunity for local residents and visitors to enjoy live music in the heart of Weymouth while meeting members of the community choir.

The choir is also hoping to attract new members and is inviting anyone interested in singing to attend an open rehearsal at Weymouth Drama Club in Hope Street on Friday, October 2 at 11am.

Prospective members are asked to contact musical director Juliet Harwood before attending.

Wacapella has built a reputation for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere, bringing together women who enjoy singing a varied repertoire without instrumental accompaniment.

The forthcoming concert promises a relaxed morning of music, community spirit and coastal-themed entertainment.
