PERFORMERS with learning difficulties will be taking to the stage at Stourport Civic Centre to show their talents.

The event has been organised by Wyre Forest Leisure Group, which is part of the Odell Centre - a social and recreational centre for people with learning difficulties.

Singers, dancers, guitarists and drummers are gearing up to take part in next Wednesday's show.

Sue Nicholl, co-ordinator of the group, said: "It's the first time the group will be holding an open stage concert, so it's very exciting.

"Most of the people performing have not been on stage before so it's exciting for them."

She added: "We held auditions for the concert in January and they were very good. We had five judges and it went really well.

"Everyone put their heart and soul into it. We were so impressed by the auditions that I think we're going to have a fantastic audience."

The concert is at 10am.
