Rev Tom Houston, Kettering Arts Centre manager and vicar of St Andrew’s Church, said: “We are delighted to announce that Kettering has been chosen as the next town to work with the incredible Deep Roots Tall Trees charity.
"After its unbelievable success in Corby, the charity has been looking for another location to share its unique choir experience created and honed over the last ten years.
“After joining forces with Kettering Arts Centre to offer a choir experience at the Have a Go Festival in 2022, discussions began as to whether Deep Roots Tall Trees could offer something similar in Kettering.

Tickets for the April concert are priced at £7 for adults and £5 for concessions.
