It's A Great Time To Join Actually Gay Men's Chorus!

If you are interested in singing with Actually Gay Men's Chorus, then January is a great time to get involved.  If you have never sung with others and are unsure that it would be for you, then why not come along to our Actually Making Music open day at 10.45am on Saturday 14th January at St Andrews Church, Waterloo Street, Hove.  Actually Making Music is a free fun day, open to all adults, where you can experience the fun and achievement to be gained from singing in four part harmony with others. Sponsored by the Monument Trust the day is divided into  workshops run by our music team and guest tutors, exploring different aspects of vocal technique. At the end of the day, the different skills learnt are combined into a short performance. No previous experience of singing with a chorus is necessary, just the desire to sing.

Maybe you were in the audience at our recent sell out Christmas show, or have seen us perform in the past and already know that you want to join Actually Gay Men's Chorus. If so then we would love to welcome you at our January induction evening, 7.50pm on Thursday  19th January at St Andrews Church. The start of a brand new term, we will be learning new material for our forthcoming production, 'The Show Must Go On', which will feature as part of  Brighton Festival Fringe in May. For further information regarding either of these events please contact publicity@actuallycic.org

T'was The Night Before Christmas
As always, Christmas really started for us with our sell out production of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’,  on Thus 22nd December,  a real highlight of the festive season. It was a fun evening with both traditional and more unusal musical choices, featuring Actually Gay Women's Chorus in their first public performance. 

If We Only Have Love - Thurs 1st December 2011
Actually Gay Men’s Chorus were very pleased to be taking part in the first World AIDS Day event to be held at St Andrew’s Church, Hove, along with the popular community choir, Hullabaloo.

This event gave an opportunity for anyone in the local community to remember and celebrate all those lives affected by HIV/ AIDS, irrespective of age, gender, or sexuality.

Admission to this event was by charitable donation, with all proceeds going to Sussex Beacon. Any cost incurred at this event (about £100) were paid by Actually Community Interest Company, our not for profit governing body. Every single person involved in this event did it completely free!

Again supporting the Sussex Beacon, who we've raised thousands for just in the last year, the event was well attended and enjoyed by all. Hullabaloo were fantastic, and we look foward to working with them again in the future. The song choices were amazing and thought provoking. Thanks to everyone who gave their time for absolutely nothing, and to the Beacon staff who came along to support the event.
