OLIVIER Award winner Clive Rowe is to join choirs across Hampshire and Surrey for a charity gala in Petersfield.

The musical theatre actor, who won the Olivier for a supporting role in the National Theatre’s revival of Guys and Dolls in 1997, is the guest star at the event at the Festival Hall on Sunday, June 26, at 6pm. He will join choirs from The Choir Company – from Petersfield, Farnham, Headley, Emsworth – on stage in the evening of song.

This is in aid of Paula Maillard, a friend of dancer and choreographer Chloe Bell who is the general manager of The Choir Company.

Paula has suffered a huge aneurysm and needs her home adapted as well as the help of specialists. Tickets at £12 are on e-mail: tickets@dorisproductions. co.uk
