Choral society secretary Jo Hurrell, who co-ordinated the workshop and concert, said the response from those taking part had been 'staggering', with organisers having to turn people away from as far afield as Norwich and Cambridge.

She added: 'Singing really brings out something special in people and I think it is just wonderful to be part of that lovely creation of sound in a non-threatening atmosphere.'
