On Saturday the 9th of April 2011, Red Leicester Choir will be hosting an evening of song and dance at the Ukrainian Hall, to raise money for Shelter Housing Aid. We’ve teamed up with the Greenshoots Ceilidh Orchestra to provide excellent music to dance to as well as great singing to listen to – and there will be food available for a small charge. The Ukrainian Hall has a licensed bar.

Tickets are £6, or £4 for concessions, and are available at the door or in advance – call 0116 2703143 to reserve.

7.30-10.30pm on Saturday 9th April
Ukrainian Hall, Hinckley Road/Fosse Road South, Leicester, LE3 0QD

Time to catch our breath

Posted on November 14, 2010 | Leave a comment

After a very busy Autumn term so far, the choir has a bit of a break from gigging coming up, and we’re using that time to work on a few new songs to add to our repertoire. Our performance with Roy Bailey a couple of weeks ago was brilliant fun and a great success. We’re not used to singing on a pub stage with mics, but we rose to the challenge! Roy was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

No rehearsal tonight – a gig instead!

Tonight there will be no rehearsal at the Secular Hall; instead, we’ll be at the Musician (just round the corner in Clyde St) supporting Roy Bailey! Doors open at 8pm, and tickets cost £10. The event is in support of the Lord Mayor’s Forget-Me-Not Appeal.

Standing up to the EDL

Posted on October 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

Red Leicester were proud to stand up against the racist EDL this weekend as they visited Leicester. Members of the choir attended and sang at both the counter-protest on Saturday (organised by the UAF) and the council-organised We Are One Leicester event on Sunday.

Saturday’s counter-protest was peaceful and important, and it was fantastic to see thousands of people in the centre of Leicester on Sunday, celebrating the diversity and unity of our city. As Billy Bragg said yesterday to a massive crowd of Leicester people, the only way the world changes is by ordinary people doing something about it.
