Hide AdThe Eskuleles perform in the local area at various shows and other events and, as well as raising money for charity, have a great deal of fun.
The club was formed in 2013 and has around 40 members.
Over the years, it has helped to raise nearly £20,000 for charity.
During Covid, the Eskuleles were unable to meet due to the lockdown or host concerts to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance, but made videos of their performances from home and set up a JustGiving page to continue the fundraising effort.
