Transcribing all these interviews with street choir members is really hard work... But doing it ourselves, listening again and painstakingly two-finger typing almost every word and be faithful to the meaning of the communication, that's vital, we think. And as you slog away you are constantly rewarded with fascinating insights that rekindle the research flame, making you wan to understand more. For example this morning, I transcribed this:

‘I mean, I had thought about joining - there is a Pride choir, you know, there’s a Rainbow Choir here in Leicester. Although I’m still very pleased to be with Red Leicester, really, because I think, to be honest, I think Red Leicester’s  politics are probably more mine… I don’t know the Rainbow Choir very well, but I feel more confident about Red Leicester’s sort of solidarity really, as a left-wing choir. I think probably the Rainbow Choir would be more mixed: I suspect; I might be wrong but… So, for me, politics was always the most important, really.’


I think Leicestershire Rainbow Voices are now defunct, but there a Midlands, Birmingham based Rainbow Voices
