Winter Concert 2019

This year we performed to a packed out church, with a full house of 250 people! With songs performed by our younger members, two piano solos from two of the group and also a surprise marriage proposal, it was certainly one we won't be forgetting!

Chicago (Sept 2019)

Our production of Chicago left the audience claiming it was "a thoroughly professional performance" and "the best show YC have ever done"! Fantastic performances were elevated by a brilliant onstage orchestra, detailed costumes and an incredibly creative lighting plot.

Come to the Cabaret (Apr 2019)

As we are always testing and trying new methods of performing, this was certainly a new venture for us. We booked out two local Social Clubs and performed two sell out cabaret-style nights. This event gave us a great opportunity to showcase some of the great new talent that we have in the group and it is certainly a format we will revisit!

Lucky Durhams (Aug 2018)

For a second year running we took the original play, The Lucky Durham's, up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. An incredible experience and a fitting tribute to all of those who gave their lives fighting in the trenches 100 years ago. Lest we forget.

Our House (July 2018)

For the second time in our group's history we brought the house down with the high-energy, fast paced, foot stomping modern classic that is the Madness musical: Our House!

​

Our minimalist set was brought to life by creative lighting from Hi-Lights and our adrenaline was fuelled by the raucous live band, helping us deliver memorable renditions of the shows big numbers.
