Wootton Bassett Orchestra, which made its mark on Marlborough in a Christmas variety show, is making a return visit on Saturday.

It will be presenting a concert of Music for a Summer Evening in St Mary's Church at 7.30pm.

The orchestra first came to Marlborough last December by accident last year.

Coun Peggy Dow, who organised the event for the Friends of Savernake Hospital, mistakenly rang the orchestra instead of local musicians.

The concert will involve the orchestra and the North Wiltshire Young Musicians Choir.

The programme will include Gilbert and Sullivan; the English Folk Songs Suite by Vaughan Williams and an orchestral version of Serenata by Ramsbury composer David Fanshawe.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the Royal School for the Blind's SeeAbility appeal towards a new centre in Devon where young blind people will have independent living facilities.

The concert is being organised by Sue Round and Jane Stacy of Marlborough.

Mrs Stacy's son Matty lives at another SeeAbility centre in Wellington in Somerset.

Tickets cost £6 and children are half price. They are available from Sue Round at St John's School (01672) 516156 or from Sound Knowledge in Hughenden Yard.
