 13th, 14th,15th July -Bury Street Choirs festival






                  

We are a group of  singers with socialist ideals.  We stand with those who call for peace, oppose fascism and support the rights of workers. 

Music has been used by the working class for centuries both to tell their stories and to unite them in the struggle against oppression in all its forms.  We are part of that tradition and  welcome new recruits to our rehearsals and appearances. 

We are an inclusive choir-no auditions! just come along to rehearsals and sing

We sing at community events, demonstrations, political rallies and street festivals.  We started the group in February 2010 and our first outing was the May Day march in Liverpool 2010.  Our most recent performances include:


  • Anti Cuts rally at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral
  • March for the Alternative in London (see video here)
  • Shorefields School picket line against it becoming an academy school
  • March and Rally in support of the June 30th strike to defend pensions 
  • Manchester March for the Alternative, October 2011
  • Pensions Strike and Rally Nov 30th 2011 
                                                              see us on   yt

Last year we sang at the AGM celebrations of the International Brigade and at the annual Breakfast for Palestine fund raising event. 

Among our numbers we have students, pensioners, teachers, trade union activists, peace campaigners, artists, office workers, volunteers, community activists and people looking for work.  Nobody is turned away and everybody’s talents and skills are valued. We rehearse every two weeks; more regularly if we have performances to deliver

We organise the group on a democratic basis and anyone is welcome to suggest songs or events to sing at  (see our constitution)

Go to the 'contact us' page if you want information you cannot find on this website or if you want us to sing at your event



We are a self financing group and members pay a subscription related to income. (Download standing order form)

The money we raise through subs pays for the expense of running the choir and we hope to subsidise the cost of attending events outside Merseyside in 2012. We would therefore welcome and actively seek donations from others to help us continue.  We would be particularly interested in donations from Trade Unions. 

If you or your organisation can help us by providing some finance or you want to book us for an event or you want to join us please get in touch 'contact us'
