Members are delighted to be taking part in such a big event, where they will be joined by stars from Broadway and the City of London Philharmonic to raise money for The National Autistic Society.

The 66-strong group has been drawing crowds to its concerts for more than 11 years and has travelled all over the world to perform its songs.
We aim to entertain' is the group's slogan and the members do just that.

Singing a mixture of traditional male voice pieces, hits from musicals, spiritual songs and modern tunes, the members have a strong following.

The group is predominantly a fund-raising choir and members are invited to perform at events to raise cash for different causes. Over the years they have managed to raise more than 80,000 for charity.

The singers mainly perform in the South West in venues including the Colston Hall in Bristol, Bath, and Wells cathedral, but members have also travelled to Jamaica, Norway, Canada and Holland for shows.

They enter a number of singing competitions and festivals each year and often pick up awards.

Alan Fox, concert secretary, said: "We all enjoy singing, at rehearsals, concerts and competitions. It's a very friendly group. Charities and churches approach us to help them raise money and we also join with other choirs and bands and put on big concerts all over the country."

Members are already gearing up for their annual concert in November at Wells Cathedral where they will be joined by French soprano, Fabienne Borget.

The group is always looking for more singers from Somerset and North Somerset. Members recently held concerts in Backwell and Burnham to try to attract new people.
