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

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)

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
