A MUSICAL brother-and-sister duo from Clacton performed to boost a fundraising event.

Clacton County High School students Louis and Sophie Takooree entertained shoppers in Colchester as part of a Christmas event.

They performed a variety of songs along with a number of other groups and artists.

Together the musicians raised £1,700 for Headway Essex, a charity which works with those suffering from brain injuries to improve their lives.
