Ashington & District Male Voice Choir welcome you to the musical video, 'Take Me Home to Yard Seam!'.

The Choir performed the 'Remembering Local Heroes' Concert at St. Bartholomew's Church in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea on Sunday, 20th October 2024.  The very talented, popular and local soloist, Susan Robertson was the guest supporting artist.

The concert was a 'Charity Dedication' to former member, Alan Thompson R.I.P. and the crews past and present of the RNLI Newbiggin-by-the-Sea Lifeboat. The RNLI and the Church were each presented with cheques to the sum of £500 by the Choir. The RNLI also raised an additional £273 at the concert through a raffle.

The soundtrack is taken from recordings from the Choir's opening set of songs about the heritage of coal mining. They include 'Take Me Home', 'Working Man', 'The Colliers' Requiem' and 'Yard Seam, Bothal High!'.

The quality of the recording was affected by the weather outside as it was blowing a 'hoolie' - thanks to Storm Ashley.

The video tells the story of the RNLI in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea. The Choir thanks the RNLI for the background text which was taken from the concert programme.
