A new local choir has been set up in Horwich which is aiming to bring the community together.

Co-founders Joe Keegan and Dan Taylor are setting up the first Contemporary Chorus choirs in Bolton and Tameside and are looking for people to join.

No experience is required to take part in the choir just a desire to have fun whilst singing and the team are already seeing people come forward to join.

The first session was described as a huge success, with 20 people attending from the Bolton area.

Sessions in Horwich are every Tuesday from 7pm to 8.30pm at St Catherine's Church on Richmond Street and is free for a taster session.

More information can be found at www.thecontemporarychorus.com and the team hope to hear residents voices soon.
