Councillor Rose said; "Despite the freezing weather, the choir sang beautifully, which warmed the hearts of all who listened to the singing."

A spokesperson for the choir said: "The choir would like to thank the large, enthusiastic audience who braved the cold weather and shared the joy of this Christmas concert."

Oswestry Ladies Choir evolved in the summer of 2015 from the Oswestry Choral Society, which had been in continuous existence for 125 years.

It usually performs two concerts a year, in the spring and around Christmas and is available for performances on request.

Rehearsals are every every Wednesday evening from 7.30pm-9pm, at All Saints Church Hall, Gobowen. Anyone interested can visit oswestryladieschoir.com, or email oslchoir@outlook.com
