Ashington & District Male Voice Choir has held a 'Celebrating Local Heroes' Charity Concert at St. Bartholomew's Church in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea on Sunday, 20th October 2024.
Thanks to support from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea Town Council, the Choir has been able to participate in an increased number of local events during the year to enhance community engagement. These events have also helped to raise the profile of the Choir and attract potential new members.
The Choir had hoped to have participated in one of the summer concerts at the bandstand in the town during the summer. A review of the October Charity Concert and the various other community events are summarised below:
