Choir member Audrey Emmett said: "We are very grateful to Scarborough Library for their generous support in allowing us the use of the concert room on a Sunday.

"We’d also like to say a big thank you to Village Voices and a huge well done to The Singing for the Brain choir.”

More than 100 people attended the event including Scarborough Mayor and Mayoress Eric and Lynn Broadbent and members of Scarborough Cavaliers.
