Welcome to The Skipton Choir!
About the Skipton Choir
Under our Musical Director, David Weale-Davey, The Skipton Choir seeks to provide a fun, enthusiastic environment in which anyone can come and learn to sing, regardless of experience or ability. No auditions required, just a passion for singing and a desire to learn, as with us you will learn to improve your technique and develop as part of the choir. Our rehearsals are energetic and fun, with the joy of singing at their core, and there is plenty of opportunity to perform at events in and around Skipton.
Our repertoire includes a wide range of contemporary music, including popular songs, and music from films and theatre, all of which we sing in 4-part harmony. With us, you'll find not only your voice, but long-lasting friends.​

A concert by The Skipton Choir on Saturday 12th April at Holy Trinity Church, raised an amazing £1540.50 towards the Church’s heating fund.
The concert was a resounding success, and the choir entertained the audience with various songs from their extensive repertoire, including a beautiful arrangement of ‘Over the Rainbow’, ‘Rhythm of Life’, ‘Swingin’ with the Saints’ ‘He lives in you’ {including African drums}, and what could be termed as the highlight of the evening, the Tenmours' haunting and thought provoking song ‘We Are Listening’, which was performed a cappella, with the choir in a ‘horseshoe’ shape around the church, making the most of the superb acoustics.
The audience also played a part, by enthusiastically joining in with some of the songs led by Musical Director David Weale-Davey, which was enjoyed by all.
Members of the choir had baked cakes, and refreshments were served during the interval, after which there was a raffle.
