A concert for Ukraine will fill Wells Town Hall's ballroom with all sorts of music on Saturday 16th March.

It will feature the amazing voice of Olha Hornykh, an Ukrainian refugee living with a West Country family who has an audition with the Royal Opera House in London.

"We have promised for some time to put on a fundraising concert for Ukraine," said Merv Colenutt, one of the organisers, "and as soon as we heard Ohla at the Kevin Westwood Concert in January we knew this was the right time.

"I have never seen so many in an audience with tears in their eyes. This will be a very special evening."

Every penny raised will go to support Ukrainian refugees who have fled their war-torn country. They live in fear for the safety of relatives bombarded by ruthless Russians and their own soldiers who face much bigger and better equipped armed forces.

Headlining the show will be Tim Pitman who said: "This will be the best show we have ever put on."

Tim is one of the most versatile artists around who will perform pop and rock, as well as a dramatic duet with Ohla.

Also on the bill will be classical band Encanto.

The doors open at 7.30pm with an 8pm start. There will be a bar.

Tickets cost £20 and are available at the Town Hall Reception for cash only, as well as by phoning Merv Colenutt on 07710743642.
