RARING TO GO: Members of the Deerbolt Singers – pictured here at a performance in Barnard Castle Methodist Church with the late John Lowles – can’t wait to start singing again
Among the many events missing from this winter’s calendar was the annual concert by the Deerbolt Singers, a group which can trace its roots back almost 50 years. Despite having fallen quiet during the Covid pandemic, choir stalwart Gill Gibson says the singers can’t wait to bounce back with renewed vigour.
THE Deerbolt Singers began life as an all-male choir formed by conductor Ron Ward for prison officers in 1972.
