A NEW choir group is being set up in Halesowen.

The People's Show Choir - a growing network of community choirs around the country - will begin rehearsals in the town in September.

The group's choirs get together twice a year to put on a live concert, and plans are in the pipeline for a mass digital collaboration and live concert to celebrate the Commonwealth in 2022.

To join the cboir you do not need to be able to read music, and anyone aged 14 and upwards are welcomed - there are no auditions and no previous singing experience is required.

Halesowen rehearsals will start on Monday, September 6.
