A Harrogate choir has been staying covid-safe by holding singing sessions in a multi-storey car park.
The All Together Now Community Choir had to halt its usual gatherings when the UK went into lockdown in March last year.
Since September the choir has been using the unconventional rehearsal space, on the 10th floor of the multi-storey car park on Tower Street.
Passers-by may have heard the group performing every Monday from 7pm.
The group has been able to pull off its rehearsals by keeping the group to a maximum of 30 and social distancing.
The rehearsals were put on hold in November and the start of this year due to the full national lockdowns, but the group is now back on track and hoping to do its first live performance back in September this year.
The group said the space is a success so far so has no intention of moving back indoors until September at the earliest.
Mr Kemp leads three other choirs in Yorkshire in Skipton, Baildon and Bingley.
Each one performs choir versions of popular music, such as The Killers, Queen and Rag and Bone Man.
