'Didn't we have a lovely day the day we went to Whitby!' Well, actually, it was the whole weekend and it was a hell of a journey to get there, but it was great to meet old friends, hear choirs old and new sing, busk in the streets, be part of a really well attended and enthusiastic Campaign Choirs meeting, and do our Singing For Our Lives stuff - talking to loads of people, handing out flyers and trying desperately not to offer anyone a flyer more than twice! Good weather mostly, too. Some highlights that come instantly to mind: The wonderful Snowapple singing on Friday night, a couple of great songs in the mass sing, busking and hearing other choirs busk - and lonely signature busking spot out by the beach huts, brilliant performance of their protect the NHS song by Sheffield Socialist Choir complete with tiny ambulance, big blue flashing light and a siren chorus as they acted watching free healthcare disappear into thedistance. Then there was the always magnificent Out Aloud, singing wonderful beautifully while dressed in Dracula ghoul-cool: They always steal the show, and everyone else is absolutely delighted to be robbed!! Fab moment for Red Leicester on stage too - everyone so looking forward to next year! Here a few sample snaps, more all day on our Facebook page. Big thanks to Whitby Community Choir!
