FRUSTRATED choir leaders who were given the green light to return to in-person rehearsals - before Covid restrictions banned meetings at the eleventh hour.
× A CASH-STRAPPED theatre which has been forced to close for more than a year has been given a vital lifeline after receiving a grant to boost its post-pandemic recovery.
The Lamproom Theatre, on Westgate, has been awarded £26,000 from the second round of the government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
The funding pot has already helped Barnsley Youth Choir, The Civic and two cinemas - Penistone Paramount and Parkway - in the borough.
The cash will go towards the Lamproom’s transition towards a full opening in time for the autumn season - starting in September - before the busiest period of the calendar at Christmas.
