Steeton Male Voice Choir will celebrate its 100th birthday with a clutch of special concerts.

The men will travel to Ireland, perform for a duchess and sing in the floodlit ruins of an abbey.

They will begin the year's programme with a massed choir performance at St George's Hall.

The Bradford concert, on April 26, follows the 80-strong choir's birthday party on February 3. The party for members, partners and patrons at Steeton Hall will feature a buffet, cake, quiz and prize draw.

There will be a display of choir events from the past 100 years, and a performance by current members.

The Steeton singers will be joined on April 26 by the renowned YBS Band and other male voice choirs from Nelson, Kendal and Worcester.

They will later perform a concert at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, at the invitation of choir patron the Duchess of Devonshire.

They will tour Ireland, performing with Dublin Male Voice Choir and a mixed choir from Tralee. They will also perform a floodlit concert at Fountains Abbey and in October, in Ilkley, with the Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band.

Steeton Male Voice Choir performs around 30 times a year.
