Christmas 2022


Love Pop Choir kicked off their huge programme of Christmas 2022 events with a fabulous gig at the Yeadon Christmas lights switch on this week. What a great way to start the festive season, this certainly got us in the mood for Christmas.

Our fabulous ladies choir groups have been inundated with requests to perform at so many events this year and our ladies have responded brilliantly, so a big thank you to you everyone for giving up you time so generously.

Yeadon Christmas lights switch on


Our Cookridge and Harrogate choir groups joined together to sing for the crowds at the Yeadon Christmas lights switch on and Town Hall light show. 

Despite the wet weather a large crowd gathered and were entertained throughout the afternoon by dance acts, choirs and bands.

Love Pop Choir were the last act on stage before the big switch on and waited in the large marquee to keep warm and dry. Suddenly who should arrive in the marquee? - Santa!  Our ladies were so pleased to see him and asked him to pose for lots of photos, poor Santa was a bit overwhelmed. 

Soon it was time for us to hit the stage and just in time, the rain stopped. Decked out in Christmas jumpers and our super new Love Pop Choir Santa hats we certainly made an impact on the stage. The crowd sang and danced along with us and had a fabulous time until it was time for Santa to lead the countdown to the magical light show.

What a great start to Christmas!

Burley in Wharfedale Christmas lights switch on 
Saturday 26th  November

Our Ilkley ladies choir group were next up in our Christmas programme, entertaining the crowds at the Burley In Wharfedale Christmas lights switch on.

Such a festive atmosphere at this lively event with a Christmas market, craft fair, mini fun fair for the kids and of course, Santa.

Dressed in Christmas jumpers, Love Pop Choir Santa hats and an elf costume, our lovely ladies made a very merry bunch.

Singing next to Santa's sleigh our Love Pop Choir ladies gave a fabulous performance from Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee through to Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Soon the Christmas lights were switched on by the town's Ukrainian families lighting lit up the town for the festive season.
