Tickets are now on sale for The Armed Man - a Mass for Peace, being performed by the Newent and District Choral Society.

This takes place at Newent Community School on Saturday, November 29, at 7.30pm.

The modern piece is something of a classic already, being a favourite on the radio station Classic FM.

It came about when composer Karl Jenkins was commissioned by the Royal Armouries to write a work for the Millennium. The work itself is dedicated to the victims of Kosovo. Tickets and further details on 01531 820940.
