Love Pop Choir - All Choirs
Fountains Abbey Music & Lights
14th December 2024

On a crisp and beautiful winter's day, over 80 talented ladies gathered for an amazing afternoon at Fountains Abbey to perform at the magical Music & Lights event 2024. 

Love Pop Choir had waited two long years for this moment, and it was well worth the wait! Performing before a packed audience in the stunning surroundings of the historic Cellarium was truly an experience to remember.

It was so exciting to sing with so many of us together in such a beautiful location. As always on these occasions, ladies representing all our choir groups were present, some travelling a long way to join us. Many, many thanks to you all for taking the time to join us. 

We hope you enjoyed this amazing afternoon as much as we did. We have asked to perform again next year so fingers crossed even more of you can share this magical experience. ✨ 

Many thanks to those of you who have shared photos and videos with us, especially Peter Elliott who so kindly gives his time to help us record our choir journey, allowing us to keep these fantastic memories of our performances.

It all began with a lively procession of ladies, adorned in Love Pop Choir Santa hats, happily making their way down the hill from the main car park towards the abbey. 

The excitement was contagious, setting the tone for what was to come.  Before long, a large crowd had gathered, eagerly awaiting our performance. We were thrilled to see such an large audience encircling the choir as we performed, with many more stood outside amongst the ruins, drawn by the music.

To our delight, the crowd remained with us for our entire hour long performance, undeterred by the chill of a December day. What a compliment!

What an incredible afternoon this was for all of us.

Our fabulously  talented Choir Director, Lauren, guided us through a fantastic selection of festive hits, making the hour fly by. Even the dogs in the audience seemed to enjoy the performance, enthusiastically barking along to the songs!

From Angel of the Morning to Caravan of Love, the hits just kept on coming. 

Beautiful smiling faces.

Our wonderful choir singing our hearts out. ♥

Of course we had to perform O Holy Night in such an incredible setting.

The sound and the view from outside was spectacular.

We couldn't possibly miss out choir favourite Hallelujah with these amazing acoustics.

The hauntingly beautiful Carol of the Bells, another choir favourite.

Getting close to the end with a big Christmas number, Merry Christmas.

Ending the set with an upbeat Christmas crowd pleaser.

As daylight began to fade, the stunning colours of Fountains Abbey's light show began to emerge with a vivid display of intense rainbow colours throughout the Cellarium. The dazzling display was so special that some of our ladies couldn't resist lingering a little longer to capture a few more photos with the glowing lights.

Just one more, who can resist? 😄
