              This Year We Are Celebrating 50 Years!
Who would have thought that from a chance conversation in the Duke of Wellington Inn, in Danby in 1971 that 50 years later the Dalesmen Singers would today be celebrating 50 years of growth and achievement! From that first meeting, around 12 members gathered to form the Choir and today we continue to thrive.

We will be celebrating our fiftieth anniversary in Danby, the home of the Dalesmen singers in an all day event held in the village hall. We are hoping that all our friends, supporters and families who have been involved over the years, will come along and join the celebrations, Watch this space for more details

14th Jan:

We were sad to hear of the death of Dave Windress on 13/01/2021. He died at home after a recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.  Only a few days before he had been continuing to care for his pedigree herd of 20 limousine cattle, which were his pride and joy, and his flock of sheep.
