ROD Stewart impersonator Greg Dorrell was on top form when he performed a charity gig in aid of a local school at Starbucks in Loughton High Road.

The one-off concert raised over £300 for Oak View School. Mr Dorrell belted out a medley of Stewart's hit to 60 people, who paid £5 each to see him perform.

Also on the bill was an Elvis impersonator, who impressed the women in the audience with his renditions of the King's greatest hits.

Organiser Richard Green said: "It was a great evening. The headmaster of Oak View, Steve Armstrong came down and was thrilled that we did this without any prompting. I have to say thank you to the manager of Starbucks, Brian.

"We've been told the money will probably go toward buying a quality musical instrument for the children at the school to use."
