AN original member of 80's reggae group Musical Youth is teaming up with Halesowen businessman and musician Tony Billingham for an evening of jazz.

The Lapal House Care Home owner will hit the high notes with singer and trumpet player Trevor T on Thursday June 4.

Saxophonist Mr Billingham said the event followed last April’s sell-out gig at Lapal House, which featured musicians from the late Acker Bilk’s jazz band and ex-Fortunes drummer Andy Brown.

Tickets, priced £10, include a fish and chip supper and are selling fast. They can be booked by calling Lyn Willetts on 0121 550 1272.
