A renowned Causeway Coast choir is rehearsing for its next concert with its youngest EVER performer: a nine-year-old singer called Max.

Counterpoint Coleraine is a mixed choir of around 45 voices, singing a variety of religious and secular music. They are currently rehearsing for a charity Summer Concert in St Patrick’s Church in Coleraine.

The choir will welcome special guests Helen Hutchinson (mezzo soprano), Gwyneth Reid (cello), Tim Cairns (flute) and young Max McGinley.

Mill Strand PS pupil Max loves to sing, having started lessons at the age of six. The Portstewart boy is currently working towards his Trinity Grade 3 and sings in the National Youth Choir NI.
