Servants of the King are one of the top youth choirs in the United States.

They perform every year in New York's Carnegie Hall and were visiting the UK with concerts in Edinburgh, London, Salisbury and Wells Cathedral.

But choir from New Jersey wanted to add a performance in a much smaller venue – the United Church in Union Street – to sing a concert there for the Wells Foodbank and its supporters while in the city.

"This deeply talented choir gave us a delightful hour," said Sue Marland from the Foodbank. Their beautiful singing was very emotive and their choice of songs so moving.

"We are also grateful to Tamsin and Amanda from the International Music Exchange for coordinating the concerts."
