November and Christmas concerts

Our popular Christmas ‘Carols and Brass’ concert took place on Tuesday 9th December in St Margaret’s Church, Horsforth, with old friends YEP Brass. We were delighted to welcome a full house to enjoy the choir and the brass ensemble pieces, and join with us in singing some favourite carols. The event was reviewed by West Leeds Dispatch.
