Linskill Community Choir

Hi! thank you for visiting our website

We are more than a Community Choir , we are a 'choir community' who look out for each other

SINGING WITH HEART is our motto and our ethos is about bringing

joy, friendship and fun through the medium of singing

We have performed all over the local area at a wide variety of events and gained a reputation for

our energetic , lively & heartfelt singing of well known, popular songs guaranteed to get the toes tapping or

the tears flowing (in a good way !!)

Our desire is to support our local community, therefore the charity concerts we perfom are always for the

wonderful groups who support the people of North Shields.

Our sessions are held in the main hall of the Linskill Centre on a Monday evening 7pm - 8pm

(except for bank holidays and choir term breaks)

The cost of membership to attend for a 6 week half term is £48 (£8 per session)

For people with no experience of singing click here for details of our other choir which runs on

Wednesday evenings

Our 2024 summer concert was another huge success. Performing a selection of some of the songs
