Petersfield is the top fundraising branch of Save the Children in the UK and on Wednesday a further £1,151 came from the collection at the door after the soaring choruses of the Rock Choir raised the roof at a packed St Peter's church.

They sang their hearts out in the free event with hits from, amongst others, Oasis, Earth, Wind  and Fire, Aerosmith, Erasure Guns 'n' Roses and Huey Lewis.

Mike Waddington spoke to event organiser Prue Rushmer (who also explains why she is in the Choir)  and Choir Leader Rachel Hart, a professional singer, who says more about Rock Choir and its tatser sessions.

We also hear from appreciative audience members!
