GERMAN singers, above, performed a concert at Durham Cathedral as part of a packed programme in the region.
The Gerlingen Ecumenical Church Choir, from just outside Stuttgart, are singing at a number of venues during their visit to establish friendship links between Gerlingen residents and their twin town of Seaham. On Friday, the 35-strong choir performed for about 30 minutes at Durham Cathedral, before going on to sing at Durham County Hall and St Mary the Virgin Church in Seaham. Yesterday morning, the choir joined the service at Christ Church, Seaham, and in the afternoon, appeared at the town's St Cuthbert's RC Church. The choir was founded in 1922 by the headmaster of a local school, and is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.
