Songster Leader Janine Wharton transferred to Monkwearmouth in 1982 from Hartlepool Temple when she married her husband Graham. They have a daughter, Sarah, who sings in the Singing Company.

Janine comments.... “We welcome you to the new Sunderland Monkwearmouth Songster website. We hope you find the information it contains interesting. We particularly wish to thank Songster Reservist Joyce Metcalf who has supplied lots of information and some of the pictures used in it’s creation. Please enjoy your visit and do come back and visit again soon as the site will be updated on a fairly regular basis”.
