London's LGBT+ Community Choir
On Wednesday 6th December 2006 a small group of Pinkies sang carols at Waterloo station in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. The idea was: We sing; they shake buckets; money falls into buckets.

My name is Anna.
My section is Altos.
I joined the Pink Singers in 2000.
I joined the Pink Singers because I used to hear them singing and Mladen shouting when I walked up Chenies St., which was a variable draw.
My favourite thing about being a Pinkie is singing.
When I’m not rehearsing you can find me at work, suffering.
The song that I would most like us to perform is something by the Mamas & the Papas or Nina Simone.
The song in our repertoire which should be laid to rest is Hand In Hand, the crap repetitive drone from Rent, Colours Of The Wind and the delightful I Believe I Can Fly.
The Pinkies Small Group raise the rafters at Wood Green library!
Wednesday 29th November saw the Pink Singers Small Group Perform at Wood Green Library for Positive Rainbow’s annual World Aids Day event.

With the promise of star prizes, a jolly good sing-song and assorted beverages of the alcoholic variety, plus the opportunity to engage our brains in something a little more taxing than ‘Deal or No Deal’ we all arrived excitedly and full of expectation at the Black Cap with a £5 note burning a hole in our little sweaty hands for the Soprano Section’s fundraiser.

My name is Simon Wilkinson.
My section is Tenors.
I joined the Pink Singers in January 2004.
I joined the Pink Singers because I wanted to have a hobby that would involve me in the gay community and it had been over ten years since I had sung properly so I thought the choir was the perfect answer.
My favourite thing about being a Pinkie is being able to enjoy the choir with the love of my life. I have the choir to thank for bringing us together! Being a member of the oldest mixed gay choir in Europe is pretty cool as well.
When I’m not rehearsing you can find me… When I’m not working in someone’s garden, I’m a bit of a telly addict so I can be found watching UK Gold comedy reruns and old movies.
The song that I would most like us to perform is a medley of Neil Sedaka hits, just got to persuade Andy to arrange it!
The song in our repertoire which should be laid to rest is… Now that Tragedy has been given the boot and the Abba medley has been put to bed for a decade, I nominate Brahms Love Song Waltz No.11 Oh These Wicked Scandalmongers, I’ve never felt happy with that piece.
