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 turn prompted 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.  We have also sung at The Sage, Whitley Bay Playhouse ,

The Phoenix Theatre, Newcastle Cathedral & The Exchange 1856 as well as putting on their own concerts .
