Friends and family of Love Pop Choir Saltaire enjoyed a fabulous Christmas gig at the Groove Pad.  

Our lovely ladies sang a range of Christmas hits from Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree to Fairytale of New York, with a brilliant rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas (with full actions of course!)

Our wonderful Roundhay ladies enjoyed an afternoon of singing in the Merrion Centre, Leeds. 

The centre was busy with Christmas shoppers all looking for last minute gifts, but they still found plenty of time to stop and listen to the beautiful sounds from Love Pop Choir. 

A great crowd gathered and enjoyed a fabulous set including the ever popular Last Christmas, Wings and Merry Christmas Everyone

Love Pop Choir Harrogate
Christmas Concert with the Harrogate Brass Band
16th December 2023

What a special night this was, for the first time ever, Love Pop Choir joined forces with a local brass band to host a joint Christmas concert at St Paul's URC in Harrogate. 

Our fabulous Harrogate ladies had an amazing time and absolutely loved singing with the band.  Some numbers were performed by the band alone, some by our choir and some were joint numbers. Brass Band Conductor, Craig, kept the audience laughing with his comedy wise cracks and encouraged everyone to join in the audience sing- along with this year's favourite, 12 Days of Christmas (with actions) going down a storm. Super talented Choir Director, Lauren, also had the thrill of conducting the band, a first for her and something she said she will always remember.  

The band thoroughly enjoyed the event too and have already asked us to join them again next year, hopefully with more Love Pop Choir groups joining in at an even bigger event.

Love Pop Choirs Ilkley & Otley 
Christmas Carols at Outside the Box & Ilkley Railway Station Charity Fundraiser

17th December 2023

Our fabulous ladies from our Ilkley and Otley groups had a busy day singing at two different venues on Sunday.  

Their first venue was at Outside the Box cafe in Ilkley, a community cafe, supporting adults with learning disabilities. Carol of the Bells even inspired a beautiful lady from the Ukraine to join in and sing the song in Ukrainian for our choir.  

Then it was off to Ilkley rail station to sing on the platform, for their annual charity fundraising event, run by the Friends of Ilkley Rail Station. 

A wonderful Christmas set list soon got the audience in the festive spirit with favourites such as Winter WonderlandLet It Snow and Hallelujah echoing round the station.  

The event raised an amazing £922 for the Candlelighters Children's Cancer Charity, what a fabulous achievement.
