Bristol is BACK!

Hello from all of us at Bristol Show Choir! It’s been a while and we wanted to drop by with an update...

Following our al-fresco Summer term, singing on the Clifton Downs and in Victoria Park, we are delighted to FINALLY be back together in the Room Where It Happens! Last week saw us start a brand new term with all of our groups, and in time honoured Bristol Show Choir tradition: new songs in the Show Choir repertoire!

We begun with “The Deadwood Stage” from the 1953 film musical Calamity Jane, and can’t wait to keep making the whip crack away! Our other new offering this term so far is “Six” from the musical of the same name by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. This particular number was introduced at a Show Choir Workshop back in the summer, and is a firm favourite amongst some of our cast, and we can’t wait to continue finessing it. The musical is a celebration of empowerment as the Six wives of Henry VIII: Aragon, Boleyn, Seymour, Cleves, Howard & Parr share and reclaim their stories. There’s a serious buzz surrounding this show at the moment, so we’re delighted to reflect that and eventually share it with our audiences.

In other news, we’re delighted that the Show Choir family is continuing to grow: we now have a cast in Westbury on Trym that meets on Tuesdays in Westbury on Trym Village Hall, and we’re thrilled that our sister choir, Bath Show Choir have finally met in person to sing together following just one rehearsal before lockdown hit!

To be reunited and bask once more in the Show Choir magic has been incredible: the energy and camaraderie lovely to see and hear, and we’re overjoyed to have welcomed so many new members. It’s going to be an awesome term folks, watch this space!
