MUSIC lovers packed into Wallingford’s Regal Centre to rock the night away with 60s favourites The Animals.

The famous group headlined the town’s 10th annual Blues and Beer event on Friday night.

Organiser John Curry, of Chiltern Crescent, Wallingford, said: “The real highlight was the encore when they played House of the Rising Sun, the audience erupted and I think everyone in the room recognised the opening.

“The event is brilliant, because it brings good quality live music into the town and we complement that with a traditional beer bar. The Animals were certainly the biggest band we’ve had.”

Proceeds from the event will be shared between Riding for the Disabled and the music department at Cranford House School.
