About Barnsley Singers
Barnsley Singers was established in October 2016 following a huge demand for an adult choir run by its Founder and Principal Director Mat Wright.
The choir brings together members of the community from all walks of life to perform in a number of concerts throughout the year. The choir rehearse and perform all types of music ranging from traditional, pop, classical and topical.
