The Dalesmen singers are gearing up for their first concert of the year, A Coronation Special, on Friday May 5.

The concert will bring back happy memories for many in the choir from when King Charles, the Princes of Wales as he was then, arrived at the North York Moors National Park in May 1998 and visited the choir for a performance in Danby.

The coronation special will be held in Hinderwell Village Hall on Runswick Lane and all profits are to be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Action charity – a cause that has impacted the village of Hinderwell recently following the death of June Mead, mother of England footballer Beth Mead.
