The annual Christmas Carol Concert of the Highland Hospitals’ Choir and junior choir of Central Primary School has been postponed until next year due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The 70 strong choir and the children from the junior choir are now looking forward to Sunday, December 5, 2021 when they will be performing at the Drumossie Hotel.

Highland Hospitals' Carol Concert Committee chairman, David Dean of Nethy Bridge said: "Very sadly the decision for 2020 could have gone no other way. We have consulted widely among choir members, audience and committee; all are agreed that, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have to give this year a miss.

"That said, we all are thinking hard on just how to put together a reduced donation towards the continuing work in the Highlands and Islands of the charity the concerts have supported for over forty years; CLIC Sargent – Young Lives Vs Cancer.

"We would very much welcome suggestions from the public, our concert patrons and the 60-plus choir members."
