Community Carol Service in Morpeth to include music from the Morpeth Allstars and Ellington Colliery Band

A Community Carol Service is being held on the Market Place in Morpeth on Saturday, December 20.

The Morpeth Allstars vocal group will be singing from 4.15pm and the service starts at 5pm.

It will be led by the Rector of Morpeth and clergy from Morpeth Churches Together, with music from the Ellington Colliery Band and a carol from the Clocktower carillon.

Ellington Colliery Band, which is a registered charity and has now been located in Morpeth for more than 10 years, is celebrating its centenary this year.

The band was founded in 1925 in what was then the mining village of Ellington.

It is also putting together a digital archive so that future generations can find out more about the band.
