Here at Voice of the Town, our choirs have had a BRILLIANT start to 2024 after a fantastic year last year.
Over the past few months, we’ve performed on Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas, which aired before Christmas on BBC One (UK-wide) and even across the United States; we’ve ‘Launched Christmas’ live on BBC Radio in December and we performed and opened Virgin Media O2’s fantastic ‘Sparkle Awards’ evening at the very cool Birmingham Library. AND, we’ve had the pleasure of gigging at a host of different public and private events.
That followed a raft of shows in 2023 which saw us perform on all 5 of England Rugby player Joe Marler’s UK live show tour dates, which included shows at the iconic London Palladium, Manchester’s Stoller Hall, St. George’s in Bristol as well as the Birmingham and Glasgow Glee Clubs. We also performed at countless festivals and venues, Scottish professional football club Motherwell FC’s ‘Player of the Year’ Awards, the UCI Cycling World Championships Opening Ceremony in Glasgow and the renowned Edinburgh Fringe for the fifth time!
Other opportunities over the past couple of years have seen our groups perform at everything from the Opening Ceremony of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, to our Glasgow choir performing live on BBC, ITV and Sky TV ahead of the Scotland vs Ukraine international football match at Hampden Park. On top of that, we’ve performed at loads more festivals, weddings, charity events, gig venues and live on BBC Radio drive-time to take listeners into the weekend.
AND, with a really exciting few months of great rehearsals and tons of shows ahead (check out our Events page!), and with more dates to be added, we can’t wait to start our new terms from Monday, May 20th, onwards!
