Singers

We were delighted by the enthusiastic turnout. It was lovely to sing to a full house made up of so many people from our community. The concert was given in aid of The Richmondshire Refugee Support Group and managed to raise over £1000 towards their funds. James and Bex Blenkiron, as invited guests, drew the first raffle ticket of the evening and were pleased to offer their continued support.

January 2019 Concert review

The Station Singers’ concert, ‘Home for Christmas, Peace at Last’, postponed due to icy weather in December, took place on Saturday 12th January and was well worth the wait. St. Mary’s Church was full to capacity.

‘Songs of the Sea’

111 Singers were on board for a fine night of singing which raised over £1400 in support of its two charities; St Cuthbert’s Community Hall, Colburn and Rug Aid.

The concert took as its theme ‘Songs of the Sea’ and the three community choirs performed a wide range of music from sea shanties to folk tunes, to songs from the shows, and to individual pieces. The evening began with the combined voices singing the gospel song ‘Wade in the Water’, followed by “Sailing and “Take me up the Tyne”.
