St James’s church, Louth will be the focus for up to 200 choristers on Saturday 25th September for a workshop and concert by choirs from the Lincolnshire Group of the National Association of Choirs.

The concert will also feature massed male voice choirs conducted by the musical directors of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Orpheus, Louth and Scunthorpe MVCs and massed female voice choirs under the batons of the musical directors of the Ludensian and Pelham singers.
