The group, called the Northern Sign Choir, is made up of both hearing and hearing-impaired singers.

It and was created by Clare Johnson, 31, and Jennifer Newall, 23, who both learned British Sign Language (BSL) in a college course.

The choir rehearses at Liverpool Deaf Centre, on Queens Drive, in West Derby.
