Music Festival 2010
This year was the first year that we partnered with St Mary's church for the choir classes. That enabled everything to be central to the village. Here we see the Driffield Male voice choir, led by our own organist Ian Cockerline.

It has to be said, the acoustics and sheer beauty of the backdrop adds to the experience, although the pews are a bit uncomfy!

With several choir categories, and even more choirs taking part, the logistics are challenging, but it makes for a fantastically varied program.

Back in the warmer and more comfortable surroundings of the Methodist church the relatives and friends wait for the next contestant.

We couldnt do what we do without a hard working group of volunteers from across the Cottingham churches. We thank you all! A few of you are captured here, but by no means all.
