November Newsletter

Veronica has compiled the latest Red Leicester newsletter, with lots of information about past and future choir events and details of singing workshops and performances in the local area. It’s available to download here.

Standing up to the EDL

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.

New members’ evening tonight

Don’t forget, tonight is Red Leicester Choir’s evening designed to give potential new members a taste of what being in the choir is like. We’ll be performing some songs and teaching a few too. If you think you’d enjoy singing with us, please come along; it will run from 7.30 to 9.30pm, and takes place at our usual rehearsal venue, the Secular Hall, Humberstone Gate (opposite Sainsbury’s).

Red Leicester on Radio Leicester!

This afternoon, choir members Glenys and Colleen appeared on Jim Davis’ show on BBC Radio Leicester, talking about Red Leicester (and a great job they did too). Frank has kindly converted their interview into an MP3, which is available here (the link will lead you to WikiUploads; click on the green ‘Download This File’ button).
