A HEREFORD choir will be bringing more than a touch of soul to a celebrity wedding.

British motorbike champion Michael Laverty is marrying his sweetheart at a secret location in the region soon – and has booked some city singers to provide a special atmosphere.

Jenny Frost, musical director with the Hereford Soul Choir, said the group cannot divulge too many details regarding the date and location but have been practicing to ensure the stars from the world of MotoGP are suitably impressed.

She said the choir will be drawing upon all the experience gained at festivals to ensure the group hits the right note at the wedding.

" I'm so excited that Hereford Soul Choir has been asked to be a part of the special day," she added.

"I hope all the hard work pays off!"

Since winning Herefordshire's last choir standing competition in 2012, the group has increased its numbers and will next year perform at the Upton Blues Festival and the Three Choirs Plus festival.
