SIGNED Christmas carols from Deaf Direct's new choir proved to be a big hit at Worcester's Victorian Fayre.

The choir performed at the opening ceremony, in front of the mayor, Cllr Paul Denham, and they gave two further rousing performances during the fayre.

A spokesman said: "The choir started in September and has gone from strength to strength.

"The day was a huge success as the charity also raised £322.55 from its collection during performances, which will be used to help local people living with hearing loss."

The Victorian Fayre took place on November 26.
