A NEW community choir is launching to bring people together through the power of song.
Local Vocals, an inclusive choir group, is expanding to Otley with weekly sessions.
The sessions will take place every Wednesday from 10am to 11.30pm at Clifton Village Hall.
The choir is open to anyone over the age of 16, with no auditions, previous singing experience, or ability to read music required.
A spokesperson for Local Vocals said: "If you love music and singing, that’s all you need.
"I never thought I’d join a choir – thought it was just for people with perfect voices but Local Vocals changed that.
"It’s a warm, fun community where everyone’s welcome and you don’t need a great voice to enjoy yourself.
"I’m so glad I gave it a go."
Founded in 2021 by LIPA graduate Laura Bennett-Gornall, Local Vocals now runs 44 other choirs across the North of England.
The organisation has raised more than £80,000 for charity through its performances and events.
Members sing uplifting songs in four-part harmony and have the option to take part in performances.
The choir offers a chance to meet new people, improve wellbeing, and give back to the community.
