The Last Ship ensemble

June 24th 2014 Statham Lodge

Without doubt the most ambitious project to date.

The gig title took its name from the Jamie Cullum song - immaculately performed by our special guest the million hit Youtube wonder Jayme Gutierrez. The theme was all that is great about British music from folk to, most recently, Sting's new musical play The Last Ship.

In the first half the choir gave us "She's Leaving Home" and also featured on Leo Sayer's Can't Stop Loving You"

- The show closed memorably with four set piece numbers from The Last Ship featuring fiddlers and accordion in addition to the standard band plus The Big Sing Choir, plus Statham Juniors, plus Six Shades of Blue. Astonishing !

Lymm Dickensian Day

Dec 13th 2014

Outdoors and at Lymm Methodist Church

This pre-Christmas performance was by popular request from the choir members themselves. It was actually the first time that the BIG SING choir have appeared in their own right without support from other musicians or soloists. A lovely experience and a terrific acoustic in Lymm Methodist church.

Thanks to Tim Evans for these videos and to choirleader and arranger Susan Healey and musical director Michael Healey for licking us into shape.

Beverley Craven in Concert

June 23rd 2015

Statham Lodge Hotel

Another great night and our first performance with a celebrity name from the world of popular music. A huge amount of work went behind the scenes ahead of the night, agreeing arrangements with Beverley , creating backing CDs for the choir and of course rehearsing. We had the additional challenge of having only one hour to rehearse with Beverly on the night. And guess what .. it all worked thanks to the consummate professionalism of our choir leader Susan Healey and Music Director Michael Healey,. Another night to remember.

This one was such a big deal that it gets its own web page CLICK HERE to see more pics and read more
