BACKGROUND

 

Linskill Community Choir was created by Irene Anderson and Paul McDermott in October 2013. It began

initially as a 6 week experiment, but nothing could have prepared them for the response from

the local community.About 30 people attended the first rehearsal and sang their hearts out. With just

a handful of practice sessions completed the choir went on to sing at five different local events.

This in turnprompted a growth in confidence from within the choir,Irene, Paul and the choir members

decided that the choir should continue past the initial 6 week trial period.

​

Since then the choir has sung for North Tyneside events such as the opening of the Dome ,

Mouth Of The Tyne Festival and the North Shields Christmas market.

Other locations for concerts have been​ The Sage, Whitley Bay Playhouse ,

The Phoenix Theatre, Newcastle Cathedral &  The Exchange 1856 as well as 

end of term shows at the Linskill Centre main hall.
