Harrogate Male Voice Choir returned on Saturday evening for its first performance in two years.

The choir has existed since October 1969 but members were forced to practice over Zoom during the pandemic.

Members performed at a charity event at St. Mary's Church, Boston Spa in aid of Martin House Children's Hospice. They raised £1,050 for the charity.

The choir sang renditions of Amazing Grace, Bring Him Home and In Flanders Fields, among others.

It was the debut of the choir's new musical director Richard Kay, who has been a member of York Philharmonic Male Voice Choir since 2002. He also sang a range of songs solo during the evening.

Choir member Lawrie Coulthard said:

"It was a wonderful experience for both the choir and audience.
"This was the first time for some years that our performance included solo items - the audience really enjoyed them!"
