Barton Road Community Choir performed alongside the famous singer and Songs of Praise presenter when he brought his Full Circle tour to Lancaster.

The Barton Road choir was selected for the special performance after winning the People’s Choice Award at the Lancashire Choir of the Year competition last November.
They have also twice performed on Radio 4’s Money Box programme, once during a live broadcast from their centre and again during a Christmas Special.
Barton Road Community Choir was founded 11 years ago and currently has 45 members, mostly from Scotforth and Bowerham.
