Musical club Dynamics Rock and Pop Choir have brought together more than 100 people to join a 15-hour music marathon which took place at Parkes Hall Social Club, in Dudley, on March 8. 

The special event saw attendees don their best pyjamas and get involved in different musical activities as well as an auction, with the finale being a huge disco and 100-singer strong choir performances. 

The aim of the event was to raise money for the Mary Stevens Hospice, which one of the event organisers, Joanna Millard, said was a charity that had in the past helped family members of those in the choir, ensuring it is close to hearts of the selfless singers who spent the day raising money - which could be used by the hospice to help even more people in the future.
