A glimpse of stocking was rather shocking, but now today — oh, heaven knows — anything goes! Today anything goes, but come Saturday everything will be all a-go at the Pink Singers summer concert Razzle Dazzle.
Over the last five months we’ve been putting together our tribute to the musical icons of the LGBT community. You’ve seen us in rehearsal, learned which songs which inspire us, and heard why this concert will be different from any other you’ve seen from the Pink Singers before. The luckier ones out there have even seen a preview of what’s to come.
Now all we need is you! Be sure to get your ticket to the show on Saturday, and remember, your ticket also gives you access to our dazzling after-show party. See you on Saturday!

The Pinkies’ dazzling post-show party!
Not that you need any more excuses to come to Razzle Dazzle this Saturday, but did you know that your ticket also gets you entry to the Pinkies’ dazzling post-show party? We’ll be in the mood to celebrate, and hope that you will be too. It is your chance to mingle with the Pinkies, share a drink and even sing a song or two. And if you are interested in joining us, you can find out first hand what it is like to be a member of London’s LGBT community choir. Keep an eye out for Gary or ask any Pinkie!
An advance Razzle Dazzle thank you!
With just two weeks to go till Razzle Dazzle, marching at Pride London was in many ways an extra special rehearsal. We were really impressed by the people we met on the march and how friendly everyone was. This particular couple caught our eye, and for being such good sports, we want to offer them complimentary tickets to come see our show. Do you know who they are? If so, please let them know and ask them to contact us on news@pinksingers.co.uk. We hope they are free on 16 July 2011!
Pride London celebrates its 40th

This year’s Pride march was a special one for London town, because it was the city’s 40th. London’s first march, in 1972, was born of the Stonewall riots in 1969 in New York, when the LGBT community finally said enough is enough and demanded equality. Since then progress has been slow and, overcoming setbacks like Section 28, we are a lot nearer to our goal. Continue reading “Pride London celebrates its 40th”
A night at St. Mungo’s
This week saw a small group of Pinkies putting on a show for a very worthwhile charity event. We had been invited by the homelessness charity St Mungo’s to perform for both clients and staff at the launch of their 2011 Action Week. The focus of this special week is on enabling homeless people to rejoin society with an emphasis on accessing healthcare and advice on getting back into employment.
Not only was our performance going to be treat for the audience but it also gave us the chance to show off some of the numbers we will be performing at Razzle Dazzle on 16 July. The concert also included some excellent solos from Phillip, Chris, Sally-Ann and some Debussy on the piano from our very own Musical Director, Murray, along with a group number from the very talented Gin and Harmonics.
It was a wonderful evening and various numbers from Tchaikovsky to Tina Turner had the audience giggling with glee and tapping their feet in delight and I feel proud that the Pink Singers were involved in both entertaining and supporting such a great charity.
