Legendary singer Lenny 'The Voice' Zakatek raised over £3,000 for the South East Cancer Help Centre (SECHC) by holding two intimate gigs.

The performances took place at Bagatti's Restaurant in South End on July 8 and 9, with the first evening attended by Croydon Mayor councillor Yvette Hopley.

Zakatek and his band hit the stage and performed a mixture of Alan Parson's hits, as well as songs from his new album.

To help boost funds there was an auction where prices included dinner at the House of Commons.

SECHC chairwoman Jennifer Mollett said: "What a fantastic couple of nights. I really can't think of a more fun way to raise money for SECHC. The food was fabulous and Lenny was superb.

"Our thanks must go to Lenny and his band, everyone at Bagatti's, the local businesses who donated prizes for our auction and raffle and everyone who came along and helped make the evening a success."
