Would you like to be in a Pride Choir and sing at Norwich Pride 2012 on July 28th?
Sing with Pride is a friendly, inclusive choir from the Lesbian, Gay , Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) community for everyone. It includes people who identify as LGBT as well as and their friends, families and supporters. We first performed at Norwich Pride in July 2010. Our aim is to sing in harmony to celebrate diversity and challenge inequality. Our next performance is on Wednesday 29th February 2012 - our annual LGBT History Month concert where we invite friends, family and supporters to come along and share some of our favourite songs. We'll also have special guests and information about LGBT icon Labi Siffri. We meet on Thursday evenings from 7-9pm in the meeting rooms of the United Reformed Church on Princes St. Our rehearsals are in blocks of 8 sessions. It costs £6 or £4 concessions per session or £40 and £24 per block of 8. There is also a one-off membership fee of £10 or £7 concessions.

Norwich has a very creative and active LGBT community and it's great that the pride choir have evolved from it and are going from strength to strength." Sing with Pride always welcomes new members.
