With summer coming slowly to an end that can only mean one thing…a new term and a new year for the choir!
We had such an incredibly busy and exciting summer that it hardly feels like we’ve had a break at all. It started with our fruit themed summer concert (thank you to all of you that came!), which was followed very quickly by us working with filmmakers Jesson Hill on a very secret but very exciting project that we will let you know about soon. This was then topped off by the choir going to sing in Cardiff as a part of Hand in Hand 2019 (a nationwide festival that celebrate LGBTQ+ choirs up and down the country).
However, that’s all behind us now, and September is actually the time of year that Gay Abandon members love best – getting back into rehearsals, meeting old friends, making new ones. We can’t wait to kick the new term, and the new year, off, and we’re excited to see what’s in store!
That’s right! Tickets are now on sale for Gay Abandon’s next Summer concert, Get Fruity with Gay Abandon! Here are the juicy details:
Date: Saturday 6th July Time: 7:30pm Venue: Kala Sangam, Bradford Cost: £12 Standard, £9 Concession
Be prepared for an evening as varied as a fruit salad, with musical numbers including Dancing Queen, Strawberry Fields Forever, and The Lady in the Tutti Fruity Hat. What’s more, Gay Abandon is being joined by friends The Fingersmiths and Harissa who will be joining in with the fruit-filled fun.
Last Saturday on 21st July 2018, we performed in our anniversary concert. (Whether it was our 20th or 21st is debatable!) Needless to say, it was amazing!
Gay Abandon are pleased to announce, that the Deep C Divas have invited us to take part in their next performance “Nowt So Queer As Folk”! We shall also be sharing the stage with the London Gay Men’s Chorus, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary!
It takes place on Saturday, 29th October 2016 at 7:30pm at The Venue, Leeds College of Music. Tickets available here.
