It is with sadness that Shiney Row Male Voice Choir announce the passing of John Mawston. John had been the Choir’s Vice President for many years and associated with the Choir for over 50 years. He was also a Freeman of the City of Sunderland and we, as a Choir, are immensely grateful for everything John did to promote the Choir - particularly in his work for the Houghton Feast - where the Choir sang on a number of occasions.

John's Funeral is to be a Private Family Funeral with a Memorial to be planned for later in the year.
