Love Pop Choir Saltaire
Shipley Christmas Lights Switch On
23rd November 2024

Storm Bert may have blanketed the UK in several inches of snow, causing widespread disruption and event cancellations, but it couldn’t stop our resilient Saltaire ladies from spreading Christmas cheer. 

They braved the wintry chaos to perform at the Shipley Christmas Lights Switch On, an event that thankfully went ahead while many others, including our Ilkley ladies’ performance at the Ilkley Lights Switch On, were sadly called off.

Due to the weather their performance was moved inside into the cosy warmth of the library where an equally determined audience enjoyed a fabulous performance by our talented ladies and even joined in with the singing! Christmas favourite Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree and the hauntingly beautiful Somewhere Only We Know sounded amazing along with lots of other fabulous numbers. 

This performance marked a wonderful start to our Christmas programme. A huge thank you to our choir director, Shane, and our incredible Saltaire ladies for their dedication and spirit in making this event so special, even under challenging conditions.

Our fabulous ladies braved treacherous conditions to sing in the incredible surroundings of Ripon Cathedral. Storm Bert was no match for our determined ladies with over 60 Love Pop Choir members still making it to the event, along with a packed audience.

We have lots of lovely videos and photos to share with you so have created a Ripon Cathedral 2024 News Special for you to enjoy.

Love Pop Choirs Farsley & Cookridge
Farsley Lantern Parade & Lights Switch On
27th November 2024

What a fabulous evening our Farsley and Cookridge choirs had at the Farsley Lantern Parade and Christmas Lights Switch On. 

Such a wonderful community event with lots of stalls, a lantern parade, entertainment and fun for the whole family. 

Our talented ladies performed alongside the charity Food Bank stall helping to draw in the crowds to boost visitors numbers. Wrapped up warm, our ladies braved the cold to give not one, but two outstanding performances for the large crowds, both before and after the lantern parade. 

 The audience loved Christmas classics Sleigh Ride and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree as well as the more traditional Christmas numbers such as O Holy Night and the beautiful Somewhere Only We Know. However it was crowd favourite, The 12 Days of Christmas that got everyone joining in and laughing at the actions.  

A brilliant festive evening for everyone!

A lovely afternoon singing at the Martin House Children's Hospice fundraiser for our busy Cookridge and Farsley ladies.

Singing  outside the Horsforth Central Methodist Church, to entice customers into the event, our fabulous ladies performed a very Christmassy set list including Christmas favourite Let It Snow, pop hit Stay Another Day and many more.

Inside were hot drinks, sweet treats, arts, crafts, and lots of stalls for Christmas shopping.

We are very proud of our ladies for their tireless energy, helping to raise funds for such worthy causes.
