Singing for the Secular Society

This evening Red Leicester performed a varied selection from their repertoire to a select number of the Leicester Secular Society!

We sang in the Secular Hall – a very familiar environment for the choir, as members have been rehearsing there since 1997 – and enjoyed the opportunity to explain a little about who we are and what we sing.

Many thanks to the Secular Society for the warm welcome (and luxury biscuits!).

Leicester Sing for Water

Red Leicester joined a whole host of other choirs from the area on Sunday the 8th of June to attend the first Leicester Sing for Water event.

After an inspirational mass rehearsal in the morning, we all filed in front of the stage (there wasn’t enough room on it!) at Bede Park to sing six songs together. Red Leicester also performed a song by themselves, as did Leicester Amika Choir. The event was a great success and gathered a big crowd (who gave over £500 in donations in less than an hour).

There are plans to hold the event at the Riverside festival again next year – until then, look at our photos of the performance.
