PRESS RELEASE – 11 March 2009
Kings College Choir to raise money for Bingley building
KING’S College Cambridge Choir is to sing in Airedale this month to raise money for a new community building replacing a scout hut destroyed by fire last year.
Organised by the Bingley Airedale Rotary Club, it is hoped the performance by the world-famous choir’s Choral Scholars on Monday, March 30 will be a big boost to efforts to raise £40,000 for a new community centre, in Bingley.

The choir, famed for its annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, is to put on its 2009 Northern Tour programme, ranging from 15th century sacred music to jazz and folk, at Baildon Methodist Church at 7.30pm.
