Sounds of the sixties at Sheffield Cathedral - SLIDESHOW
HYMNS were swapped for the sounds of the Sixties when 100 schoolchildren took over Sheffield Cathedral to sing Beatles songs.
The event was organised as part of the Cathedral's drive to get more youngsters interested in singing – at home, in schools and in their communities.
It formed part of the cathedral's Sing! project and was the third concert of its kind held this year. One of the concerts involved children singing songs from West End shows and the other was a winter-themed concert.
The Sing! project involves vocal coaches visiting schools to work with children during fortnightly sessions.
Pupils are also invited to join a children's choir at the Cathedral, which meets every Saturday morning.
Pupils from three schools took part in the latest concert - St Joseph's in Handsworth, Limpsfield in Brightside and Lowfield on London Road.
They sang together and alongside the Cathedral's own choirs.
