Management Committee 2013-14

All Pinkies give a little bit of themselves to the choir, but every year a few of them step up and are elected to join our Management Committee and, for the first time this year, some of them are also trustees (now that we are a registered charity).
Here is this year’s Pink Singers management committee and artistic team. Feel free to get in touch with suggestions or ideas you may have for the choir!

Four reasons to take your choir to Cardiff

Peter, Tenor Leader

On the 4th and 5th of October 2013, the Pinkies made the 150-mile journey from London to Cardiff to perform with the South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus to a sell-out crowd as part of their 5th Anniversary celebrations. In this post, Pete shares his four reasons to head back immediately!

#1. Croeso i Gaerdydd!

…or in Welsh, “Welcome to Cardiff!” My first time to Wales, I thought thought that I would drive over the bridge and be met by dragons, sitting on castles waving their leeks at me, chanting, “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!!” Alas, my fantasy was crushed by Gary, Paul and Ben (my trusty road-trippers), who, in between me trying to pronounce the road signs, took the responsibility of letting me know the truth. Wales is actually like most of the UK – but with its own special version of awesome. For instance, we walked to the venue via Cardiff Castle, we stayed opposite the Millenium Stadium and topped of the weekend brunching on Cardiff Bay (next to the Dr. Who experience).

In summary… Wales is an amazing place, even if it is lacking dragons.

My tip? Make sure you go for more than 24 hours and take time to look around.

There are more than a few Welshies in the Pink Singers (or Y Cantorion Pinc, to give us our Welsh title).
As one of our leek-loving contingent of Pinkies I’m thrilled to be announce that we’ll be joining the South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus in concert in Cardiff on Saturday, 5th October, at the stunning Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
It’s not the first time we’ve sung with the boys from Caerdydd and we’re thrilled to be joining them once again in such a brilliant venue to celebrate their 5th anniversary.
If you’re local then do come along, it promises to be an excellent night!
Tickets are available now at just £9.

New season, new voices!

What a year.

We are still recovering from what was an amazing 30th anniversary celebration for the choir. So much hard work and preparation went into commemorating our last three decades with our exhibition, flash-mobbing and performing our special commission from Richard Thomas, our festival day Hand in Hand featuring over 20 LGBT choirs from around the country. We definitely earned our summer break this year.

That said, we’re already looking to a fabulous fourth decade of song. The Pink Singers are looking for new members for our next season starting later this month. If you love singing and want to be part of a fun, friendly and vibrant LGBT community then why not come along for a taster?

On Sunday September 22nd we’re opening our rehearsals and inviting you to come and get a feel of what it’s like to be a Pinkie. If you like what you see (or hear) then you can come back and try out.

For more information, please see the Join us’ page of our website and drop me an email at joining@pinksingers.co.uk. I’ll send you all the details to get you started.
We already have loads planned in the run up to our next London concert in January 2014. So why not Sign up to our mailing list (right), like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep in touch and see what we’re up to.
