Anniversary Concert, June 2025
70 years of singing was marked in style at our Perfectly Platinum concert on Saturday 21st June at Holy Trinity Church Huddersfield.
Chris Pulleyn, our wonderful singing compere, hosted a tremendous evening full of joyful song from Marsh Ladies, conducted as usual by Ian Abbott and accompanied by Kim Kaye.
The choir premiered Ian's new arrangement of "What would I do without my music".
Their guests, the renowned Lindley Junior School Choir conducted by Alison North MBE and accompanied by Emma McKenna, showed that the local music scene is in safe hands for the future.
Amongst the guests was Kirklees Mayor, Elizabeth Smaje, who added her message to the choir's anniversary tree.
Thanks to everyone who supports the choir, enabling us to continue singing in this special anniversary year and beyond.
