A KIDDERMINSTER performer is offering to teach young people with a passion for singing.

Tenor Russell Painter, who studied at the Guildhall School of Music, is hoping to give singing lessons to young people from the age of six who enjoy singing and prepare them for their grade exams.

The 23-year-old, who began singing while at school, performed with Beth Dunn, Lauren Tristram and Sara Weaver at the 50th birthday party of CBI director general, Sir Digby Jones.

Russell, who recently completed his masters in music, said: "I want to give something back to the young people in Kidderminster."

Anyone who is interesting in singing lessons can contact Russell on 01562 822914.
