The new London Gay Men’s Chorus season has officially started, and it looks like it will be a good one. There’s a lot of activity going on at the moment… new starts, new repertoire to learn and new Production Managers! It’s all very exciting!

LGMC is spear-heading the Various-Voices London event which will be held at the London Southbank area during 2009, and this forms the main part of what the LGMC will be doing this season. We’ll also be taking the season’s repertoire to Helsinki for their Pride Festival. All very exciting!

Check out the link to the Various Voices website for more information, and I’m sure there will be loads more posts about what we’re doing to prepare for the performances.

As many of you know, I’m a member of The London Gay Men’s Chorus, and every year, the chorus puts on a Christmas show for it’s ‘fans’. This year was a show directed by the fabulous Stuart Burrows, entitled, ‘For Christmas Sake’. The idea behind the show was ‘traditional’… and that’s what you got. Beautiful arrangements of Silent Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and my personal favourite  of the season, Over the Skies of Yisrael. Simply stunning.

The choralography this year was also very good. Simple, but effective movement backed up by some fiery dance moves and very witty link material provided by the chorus’ very own Angel Gabriel, Michael Mangion.

Pictures from the season can be viewed by clicking on the picture below…

A fantastic season, and the next one should be even better, with the chorus participating in an International Chorus Festival called Various Voices… as well as an international trip to Helsinki planned for the middle part of the year! Fantastic! See you there!

Tonight I’ll be performing with my fellow London Gay Men’s Chorus members at The Shepherds Bush Empire for the Opening Ceremony of the International Gay & Lesbian Football Association World Championships 2008, which are being held right here in London.

It should be a really fab evening, just wish Bryan could have come as it means we’ll not be together on the Bank Holiday Sunday.

It should be really fabby! Here’s some details if you want have a look at the IGLFA World Championship Website…
