A SERIES of children’s singing workshops are to be held at Durham Cathedral.

The Summer Singing workshops will be held between August 24 and 28.

They will involve the Scratchett Young People’s Choir, which launched its first CD earlier this year, and run daily from 10am to 12pm.

Leader Birdie Jackson said: "They are just such an enthusiastic group, full of ideas and the tenacity to make them happen.

"Some of the members have had the opportunity to sing in York Minister, take part in a Last Choir Standing event at Gateshead College and we have plans to sing at the Sage later this year."
