This popular event, sponsored this year by local company Wrightbus, has proved to be a special occasion each year in the Arts Festival programme, attracting its audiences from throughout the borough and far beyond.

Now with more than 50 members, the Seven Towers Male Voice Choir has been going strong since 1924 and has performed in concert in Canada, Germany, and in the UK and southern Ireland.

For the past few years the Choir has given the opportunity to local charities to benefit from their annual Ballymena event and this year, they have chosen Cancer Focus NI and the Alzheimer’s Society.
