THERE wasn't a seat spare in Dunmow's Foakes Hall for a classical concert in aid of the Mayor's Charity Community Fund on Friday night.
Topping the bill was vocal duo Imagine Jack who performed several sets of well-known classical hits.
Lauren Headley, a student at the Helena Romanes School, performed twice between the sets of the headlining act.
Great Dunmow mayor Cllr Frank Silver, said: "It was a wonderful evening and I was bowled over by the high quality of both of the acts.

At the end of the evening, the crowd of more than 100 people gave the performers
a standing ovation - something Cllr Silver says he has rarely seen.
He was particularly impressed by the vocal talents of Miss Headley who sang a variety of show tunes and light-listening numbers.
"Although she is still quite young, there is no doubt that she has an amazing amount of talent and I am sure that if she carries on she will be a great success," he said.
