The concert, organised by the Norwich Welsh Society, is celebrating the life of its former president, Carolyn Phillips who died last December after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 31 days before.

Tony Davies, of the Norwich Welsh Society said: 'The most shocking statistics for Pancreatic Cancer is the survival rate is less than 4% of those diagnosed in the UK survive for 5 years.

'The money raised will be used to help fund a research project (in Oxford University) for the earlier detection of the pancreatic cancer.'

The choir was formed on 1 March 1967, the same day as Norwich Welsh Society, and frequently perform in Cathedrals, concert halls, churches and other venues in the UK and abroad.
