"Lily is a very talented, young violinist and has performed with us before. With summer-themed refreshments and raffle, this annual concert always goes with a swing.”

In September, the choir will be singing at St Giles’ Church in Pontefract with guests Vivat, a Latvian choir the Fairburn Singers met in Riga, Latvia, last year.

And the group will be performing alongside Wakefield Wind Orchestra in Selby Abbey in October.

Tickets cost £7 on the door and refreshments will be available.
