Why were people singing in The Piece Hall: Choir descends on iconic Halifax landmark for flash mob

A surprise musical performance took place in Halifax’s Piece Hall thanks to a talented singing group.

Halifax Musical Theatre Choir’s flash mob in the historic courtyard on Saturday saw visitors treated to some well-known tunes.

The musical theatre choir meets weekly in Elland to sing West End and Broadway songs together.

It is led by Sian Pattison, who has been a professional singer for over two decades and has performed at venues across the UK including the Manchester Opera House and Kings Theatre, Glasgow.
