MORE than 50 singers from Weardale and Teesside will be joined in harmony for the first time at a concert this weekend.

The Stanhope and Middlesbrough choral groups will be on stage at the Church Hall, Stanhope, on Saturday, at 7.30pm.

"Although some members of both groups have performed at festivals with other singers over the years, it's the first time the two groups have been in concert," said Mike Rossall, of Stanhope Choral.

Tickets are £3 and are available at the door.
