A choir has been spreading joy, music and community spirit.
The All Together Now Choir, which has a branch in Skipton, has spent the first half of 2026 performing, raising funds for charity, and entertaining audiences across the region.
Covering Baildon, Bingley, Harden, Harrogate and Skipton, the choir has taken part in 13 gigs between January and June, while also rehearsing new songs and supporting good causes.
A spokesperson for the All Together Now Choir said: "From indoor harmony to sunny garden lawns, the first half of 2026 has been pure joy.
"We've loved every single second of our spring and summer sessions, charity events and big outdoor gigs.
"We can't wait to start the second half of our choir singing year."
The choir’s year began with a spring concert at St John's Church in Cononley, marking its first public performance of 2026.
In March, members collected 800 Easter eggs for 17 different charities.
April included a performance at Beckfoot Priestthorpe Primary School in Bingley, where pupils joined in the singing.
The choir also raised £420 for the Harrogate Easier Living Project through a gig at Roosters Brewing Co in Harrogate.
Songs such as Break My Stride and Only the Horses proved popular with the audience.
April also saw the launch of the Harden Musical Theatre Choir, which now meets weekly.
Members have been learning songs including Six, I Dreamed a Dream, and the Joseph Megamix.
In May, the choir performed at the annual lunch for the Memories Cafe at Bradford Golf Club.
The set included singalong classics like Georgy Girl and Puppet on a String.
One audience member said: "Music does bring people together."
June featured a major outdoor showcase at Newby Hall, where the choir performed on the lawn.
In July, members sang at a wedding at Saltaire United Reformed Church.
The songs Only You and A Thousand Years were chosen for the occasion.
The choir is directed by Chris Kemp, who recently launched the Harden Musical Theatre ATN Choir.
