Kicking off the country-wide tour, our scouse duo Rachel and Darren took us to Liverpool for an amazing weekend. Over to Rachel… Rachel, Soprano Growing up in Liverpool definitely gave me a strong sense of social justice and an appreciation of good music, so it’s no wonder that, since living in London, I’ve found a home in this choir ..read more

Paul, Tenor In our recent concert at Cadogan Hall one of the songs we performed was Bronski Beat’s Small Town Boy, beautifully and movingly arranged by our very own incredibly talented Simon P.  Paul, from the tenors, shared his own story of moving from a small town to London...

The town, Rathfriland, County Down, Northern Ireland (population 2,400) is unlikely to be familiar to you, however the story might be. It is, plus or minus a few details, likely also your story. So many of us found ourselves here in London bec ..read more

There was a short hiatus due to covid, and the last two years we decided not to attend due to our concerns over systemic racism within the Pride in London organisat ..read more
