Roots Community Singers were in fine voice at the 2014 Ashby Arts Festival prize giving with an eclectic mix of traditional English and world folk song being enthusiastically received by visiting dignities which included the town Mayor plus competition prize winners and their families.
The high vaulted ceiling of the Royal Hotel helped to create a stunning sound which allowed the choir to perform its songs to great advantage leading to a general consensus that this was the best performance yet.
Performing two sets either side of the prize giving there was a grand sense of occasion to the the event with each set being introduced by the town crier in full regalia!
