Love Pop Choir Assemble 
Ilkley Bandstand 
9th September 2023

A bit of a mad dash for this event at Ilkley Bandstand. Choir had only just restarted when we were asked to entertain the people of Ilkley at the Bandstand.  So the call went out to see if any ladies were available to sing at sort notice alongside our Ilkley group. The result was a talented mix of ladies from various groups who so generously gave up their time to support the event. It's amazing that our ladies learn the songs in different groups yet come together so easily as one.

The warm, sunny  weather brought the crowds out to enjoy our wonderful summery setlist including the hauntingly beautiful We Found Love by Rihanna. There were ice creams to cool the audience down and dancing and singing along. We even had a visit from a Sky News photographer who wanted to take our photos, look out for us on Sky News.

What an amazing evening we had launching our fabulous new group, Love Pop Choir Farsley!  

A brilliant turnout at Farsley Celtic's Nest Bar, with lots of lovely friendly ladies, all keen to sing their hearts out in true Love Pop Choir style. 

Any initial nerves were soon banished as we enjoyed glasses of Prosecco and tucked into cakes, made by Vic (one of our lovely new ladies) whilst chatting to new friends. Then it was time to take our seats and get singing.  Joanne, our super talented Choir Director, had a few nerves too, as this was her first group so she was keen to get started and show what she could do. In no time at all the group were singing away as if they had been together forever.  

It was lovely to see so many smiling happy faces. We all had such a great time and lots of ladies signed up as full choir members straight after the session. A fabulous start for Love Pop Choir Farsley, congratulations Joanne!

Love Pop Choir Harrogate
The Mason's Festival Dinner
23rd September 2023

Our wonderful ladies from Love Pop Choir Harrogate had a great evening at the Harrogate Mason's Gala Dinner event.

Singing for a packed room we performed a great selection of Summer favourites including crowd pleasers A Little Respect, River Deep Mountain High, Spaceman and Walking on Sunshine. 

Despite singing two long sets our audience still wanted several encores. We agreed that we would carry on if the audience joined in and they certainly did, getting up from their dining tables to dance and sing along, it was a fabulous atmosphere.

We all felt amazing as we finally left the room, so rounded off the evening with a couple of drinks at the bar to celebrate another fantastic evening with Love Pop Choir.

People's Health Alliance Inaugural Gala Dinner

Wow, what a prestigious event this was for Love Pop Choir, performing in the beautiful ballroom at the Queen's Hotel in Leeds city centre, for the People's Health Alliance (PHA)

Performing two sets of powerful songs, one from the balcony as guests arrived, followed by another set in the ballroom itself, our talented ladies entertained the crowd to huge hits such as Something Inside So Strong, Wings and Spaceman.

The audience reaction and feedback received was fabulous and our ladies certainly enjoyed the performance.

Of course a trip into Leeds called for a serious after party in the West Riding pub, entertaining the customers to an impromptu

sing-along. Another fun, successful night for Love Pop Choir.

You can enjoy lots more fabulous photos from this event on our  Flickr account.

Love Pop Choir Roundhay
Oakwood Family Fund Day
14th October 2023

Our lovely Roundhay ladies had a great time singing at the Oakwood Family Fun Day, raising much needed funds for Martin House Children's Hospice. 

A busy, lively event with lots of stalls and entertainment made for a fun day for everyone.  Our choir gave a stunning performance despite battling the traffic noise and cold weather. Time to get out our new, super cosy, Love Pop Choir Hoodies!

The audience were treated to a fabulous set by our talented ladies, including crowd pleasers One Day Like This and Kiss From A Rose. Some of our brave ladies even performed solo sections which went down really well with the audience. 

Event organizer, Anita, sent a lovely email to our Roundhay choir thanking them for "a fabulous performance which certainly attracted the crowds"  Well done Roundhay, you are superstars.
