A highly acclaimed concert-style production called The Carpenters Story celebrates the life and music of a legend in popular music.

The Carpenters Story, at the Wyvern Theatre on Saturday night at 7.30pm, continues to captivate audiences across the UK with its convincing recreation of the classic songbook that make the Carpenters famous.

The show features all their hit songs, including (They Long To Be) Close to You, Yesterday Once More, We've Only Just Begin, Superstar, Rainy Days and Mondays, and many more.

Carpenters Story MD Phil Aldridge said: "I’d always had a real passion for music, but my love of vocal harmony started when I heard the early Carpenters records.

"Back in those days I used to be a big rock fan listening to Led Zepp and Pink Floyd, but I found myself more and more drawn to the sound of those harmonies on Close to You.

"So, a few years down the line I called up some friends I’d met along the way who were great players and, as I’d trained as an arranger by then, was able to put together a show which just played the music of the Carpenters."

The voice of Karen Carpenter is singer Claire Furley.

She said: "A chance meeting with Sylvia Young back when I was 15, led to my hobby of singing becoming my career. I began classical training and have been singing professionally since the age of 17. I later met and auditioned for Phil Aldridge, and have provided the voice of Karen Carpenter starring alongside Phil and The Carpenters Story Orchestra ever since.”
