Yes, it will not be long now before you will be able to take a train direct from Tyneside to either Ashington, the home of Jackie Milburn or Bedlington, the home of famous railway engineers.

Thanks to the new Northumberland Line, any budding singers from Tyneside could make their journey to a rehearsal of Ashington & District Male Voice Choir in comfort and not worry about driving so far by car.

So budding singers, Spring is nearly here so why don’t you consider joining this great local choir.
