SPECSAVERS branches in Bradford and Girlington hired a hall and put on refreshments to support a musical performance from members of Mind.

The Mindsong group had been coached on a weekly basis by David Owen-Lewis, a former member of the Opera North cast, to perform for families and friends at Bradford City Hall on March 31.

Pete Rooke, director of both Specsavers stores, said: “To stand up and sing unaccompanied is a huge achievement.”
