Sounds Fun Singers was one of several choirs filling York station in support of Sing for SASH - the registered charity preventing homelessness in young people in the city and throughout North and East Yorkshire.
A spokesperson for the Singers said Sunday’s performance at the station was enhanced by the electric keyboard skills of David Hammond, who cycled over fresh from a service that morning in York Unitarian Chapel in St Saviourgate.
At the end of the seasonal concert on Friday there will be a collection in support of Age UK York Keep Your Pet Service, which provides short term help and support for older and vulnerable owners to care for their pets in difficult times.
Sounds Fun Singers raised more than £200 from collections at last year’s concert for other charities including The Hut York.
Tickets for Sounds Fun Singers seasonal concert are £6 (cash only) on the door for an adult and accompanied children can enter free of charge.
