Harrogate choir to sing at Edinburgh Festival Fringe

The Stray Notes are set to sing at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Harrogate community choir, The Stray Notes, is to sing at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The choir will perform over three days at the world’s biggest arts festival, singing an uplifting mix of choral, pop, rock, show tunes and world music.

Musical director, Liz Linfoot, said:

“We are so excited to be appearing at the Fringe this year.

"The festival offers us an incredible opportunity to perform alongside amateur and professional singers, musicians, comedians, actors and dancers from all over the world.

"There is nowhere else quite like it.”

The trip marks a welcome return to the Fringe for the choir, who first performed there two years ago.

Liz said:

“We thought we’d give it a go a couple of years ago and we had such a fabulous response to our two performances that we vowed to return for more.”

This year, Liz will take around 70 choir members to the Scottish capital, along with pianist Tim Farnhill.

They will perform in Canongate Kirk, Greyfriars Kirk and Brewhemia, a live music venue, from August 10th-12th.

The choir, which was formed five years ago, rehearses each week at Woodlands Methodist Church and is currently putting the finishing touches to its hour-long Fringe repertoire.  

The programme will include Bridge Over Troubled Water, Chasing Cars, Hey Jude and All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera.
