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.
