A COMMUNITY choir will be performing a famous modern mass for peace in South Tawton to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

Moor Harmony will perform The Armed Man – A Mass for Peace at St Andrew’s Church in South Tawton on Saturday evening (November 10) at 7.30pm.

The choir, whose singers all live in or near South Zeal, first performed the mass back in 2013 and are reprising it by popular demand. Refreshments available. From each ticket sale, £1 will be donated to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Find out more from Paul Snell at [email protected]
