Gathering at the beautiful Ripon Cathedral

Choir members from all four corners of the ATN world (Harrogate, Skipton, Bingley and Baildon) were delighted to gather at the awe-inspiring Ripon Cathedral on Saturday 22nd November, to perform there at the Food and Gift Fair. This event was the very first of the choir's many Christmas gigs, and certainly did not disappoint!

The choir sang a variety of popular Christmas carols and songs, with director Chris Kemp taking the lead to ensure arrangements had the ATN twist!

Songs included 'O Come All Ye Faithful', the enchanting 'Light the Night', a memorable version of 'Little Drummer Boy', and their familiar anthem, 'O Holy Night'. Their final number, 'Gloria in Excelsis Deo', ended with a huge round of applause from the appreciative audience.

Comments from choir and audience members included:
