Music and songs of the 20s, 30s and 40s will feature in a concert to be given by The Bert Firman Orchestra at Kidderminster Library on July 19.

The concert in July will feature a selection of Geoff's favourite pieces, by Gershwin, Kern, Duke Ellington, Harry Warren and many others. The orchestra will be directed by Guy Rowland, and Claire Worboys will be guest vocalist.
