Congratulations to Olivia and Will, the Bride and Groom, on their Wedding.👰

What a fabulous time ladies from our Harrogate, Cookridge and Ilkley groups had at the surprise Flashmob we performed for the wedding guests at Ilkley Golf Club on a beautiful sunny day. 

After weeks of planning and secret meetings, Choir Director Lauren worked with Lucy from Lucy Wright Events and the happy couple's parents to arrange the surprise and it worked perfectly.

Dressed in walking gear, cagoules, rucksacks, walking boots etc, a group of 10 entered the wedding marquee, pretending to be lost walkers in need of directions and water. The backing track to Shallow started playing and the group of 10 began singing, swiftly joined by the remaining choir (who really had been hiking through the woods round the back of the marquee before hiding in the Catering tent).

The look on the faces of the guest and the Bride and Groom was well worth all the effort, as our ladies sang to the happy couple ..... so romantic.  💘💘💘

Then came the big reveal as the choir removed their walking gear and retrieved their choir folders from their rucksacks and sang a selection of songs chosen by the couple's parents including I'm Yours, Be My Baby and Dancing in The Street. 

Lauren presented the Bride and Groom with the score to Shallow (specially arranged for them by Lauren) with a note wishing them every happiness from the Choir. We then had photos with the happy couple before the steel band took over the entertainment and the guests enjoyed a barbecue.

A day we will never forget to add to our list of wonderful events and experiences with Love Pop Choir.

Love Pop Choirs Cookridge, Farsley & Harrogate
Ralph Thoresby Summer Festival and Yeadon Carnival
13th July 2024

The unpredictable British weather was no match for the indomitable spirits of our talented ladies from the Cookridge, Farsley, and Harrogate groups. They joined forces to deliver stellar performances at both the Ralph Thoresby Summer Festival and Yeadon Carnival, both on the same day! 

Ralph Thoresby Summer Festival

First on the agenda was the Ralph Thoresby Summer Festival, where the event was moved inside to avoid the rain, transforming the school’s theatre stage into a vibrant concert hall. The acoustics were superb, and our ladies took full advantage, captivating a packed audience with their 45-minute set of summer hits. From the dreamy "Something Just Like This" to the upbeat "Shotgun" and the classic "Dancing In The Street," our ladies had everyone clapping and singing along. 

 Yeadon Carnival

Next, it was a quick dash to the Yeadon Carnival, where the rain decided to take a break just in time for our performance. The stage—a large arctic lorry—was set, and the audience emerged from under their umbrellas, ready for another musical treat. With a 30-minute set featuring favourites like "Wonder," "Stitches," and "I'm Yours," our fabulous ladies had the crowd dancing and singing along, creating a great atmosphere that perfectly captured the essence of summer.
