A video capturing a male choir's night-time sing-along in Wrexham town centre has gone viral.
South Notts Men’s Chorus were set to travel home from a concert when they treated Wrexham locals to a rendition of a mining song.
A video of their impromptu performance was posted on Facebook and has since been viewed more than 60,000 times.

Victoria Barlow, musical director, said: “We were on tour and had just done an outdoor concert at Hawarden Castle.
“We were walking back through Wrexham after a meal and a few drinks and must have sung about seven different songs as we walked.
“Everyone was laughing and joking.”
The choir stopped at The Arc Sculpture, on the junction of Lord Street and Egerton Street, to sing 'Working Man'.
The song talks about a man working underground, released in 1988, and famously sang by Rita MacNeil.
Ms Barlow said: “We first sang the song in the Royal Albert Hall in 2016 as part of the Festival of Male Choirs.
“Our heritage in Nottingham is very much about mining too so when they saw the miner statue, they had to sing it.
“We didn’t know the video had been watched so many times, it was such a surprise.
“Everyone watching us in the town was so welcoming and appreciate, so that’s why we were keen to keep singing.
“It’s topped off a great weekend for us.”
