Harrogate choir to sing at Edinburgh Fringe
Harrogate community choir The Stray Notes is to sing at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The choir will perform over three days at the arts festival, singing a mix of choral, pop, rock, show tunes and world music.
Musical director Liz Linfoot said:
The festival offers us an incredible opportunity to perform alongside amateur and professional singers, musicians, comedians, actors and dancers from all over the world. There is nowhere else quite like it.

The trip marks a return to the Fringe for the choir, which first performed there two years ago.
Ms Linfoot added:
We thought we’d give it a go a couple of years ago and we had such a fabulous response to our two performances that we vowed to return for more.
The Stray Notes in rehearsal
This year around 70 choir members will head to the Scottish capital, along with pianist Tim Farnhill.
The choir will perform in Canongate Kirk, Greyfriars Kirk and Brewhemia, a live music venue, from August 10-12.
The Stray Notes was formed five years ago and rehearses each week at Woodlands Methodist Church.
Their programme will include Bridge Over Troubled Water, Chasing Cars, Hey Jude and All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera.
