East Sussex choir offers festive Zooms

In challenging times an Eastbourne area choir is determined to stay in touch.

The Downland Singers are a small choir who normally meet at Trinity Church Hall, Willingdon Triangle.

“And until we can meet again in person, we are arranging more Zoom sessions in the run-up to Christmas.

“Normally we perform at Christmas in care homes and in the Beacon Centre but this year we cannot, owing to Covid-19 restrictions.
