Harrogate Community Choir Festival

Our super talented ladies from our Harrogate and Cookridge choir groups joined together to perform at the Harrogate Community Choir Festival, raising funds for a local Knaresborough based charity. Wellspring Therapy and Training provide affordable psychological support to people in distress and promote good mental health through training and education, such a worthy cause.

What a fabulous event this was with six choirs from the local area showcasing their talents at Harrogate Theatre. We had such a great time listening to a wide range of songs and styles and of course performing for the other choirs and the general public. The venue was 'sold out' so we had a huge crowd to entertain and our ladies did it in style. 

Our early afternoon rehearsal got us all very excited, such a professional set up with staging for the choirs and a stunning venue. Some of our ladies then enjoyed a fun afternoon in Harrogate with shopping, lots of eating and just a little drinking. Then it was back to the theatre again for our evening performance.

We sang five very different songs to show off the wide range of genres we cover and the amazing arrangements written by our very own Lauren Elliott.  

First up was Umbrella by The Baseballs. A very upbeat, rockabilly version of the song which took a lot of practise to incorporate  finger clicks whilst remembering to sing at the same time, who knew how hard that could be! Our next offering was a bit of '80's cheese' with Take That's Back for Good followed by the absolutely beautiful Slipping Through My Fingers by Abba. We even made one of the event organizers cry with this one so we obviously put plenty of feeling and emotion into it. We then upped the tempo with a blast of Rock singing Alone by Heart, a real favourite amongst the choir. Our final number was the UK's 2022  Eurovision Song Contest 'almost' winner, Spaceman by Sam Ryder. A fantastic evening was rounded off by the whole theatre singing Hey Jude by the Beatles with representatives from all six choirs taking to the stage, a truly magical and memorable moment.

Love Pop Choir Roundhay

Charity Fundraiser Concert

27th March 2023

Our gorgeous ladies from Love Pop Choir Roundhay held a charity fundraiser concert on behalf of Leeds Children's Hospital.

Friends and family enjoyed a beautiful evening of singing to raise funds for Ward 50 at the LGI Clarendon Wing. Roundhay Choir Director, Georgia, has been visiting her Godson, Lucas, on the ward and recognized that their fabulous play scheme needed new equipment. Love Pop Choir Roundhay have raised an incredible £1295 for this very worthy cause. we are so proud of them.

The evening began with vocals from four of Georgia's University music students, followed by a fabulous set from our talented ladies. Warming up with Bella Mamma and Maliswe the concert got off to a great start. A real mix of genres followed with classics from the 80's and 90's to current chart hits, including Dua Lipa's Break My Heart, Sam Ryder's Spaceman and the fabulous Like A Prayer by Madonna. We heard some amazing solos from several of our ladies who really showed us what they can do. 


Finishing the evening Lucas's Dad gave a speech, thanking everyone for their generosity and explaining how the donations would buy several Doppler blood pressure monitors and I Pads for use by the children on the ward. 

What a wonderful event, Love Pop Choir is so happy to not only spread our positivity and wonderful singing but to help others along the way.
