Some Voices raises £1450 for Save Our Venues campaign

Some Voices choir is all about community and this term our fundraising efforts have been focused on the venues that make up part of our community. The choir has raised £1,450 for the Save Our Venues campaign, supporting UK venues that have been hard hit by the pandemic, including one of our partner venues, the Clapham Grand.

Instead of our usual live quiz night, choir members put together an online quiz, themed around live music and featuring rounds including Deadpan Lyrics, Guess the Intro and an old favourite, Does it Float?

The quiz was expertly hosted by Steve Mulley and Jane Laurie, and featured cameos from choir leader Sophie Winter and Musical Director Curtis Stansfield.

In addition, choir member and resident artist Sunnie Newby of Ninety-Five Prints created and sold a bespoke, limited edition poster featuring some of Some Voices’ favourite London venues, as well as offering choir members the chance to buy souvenir artwork from some of our past performances. All proceeds went towards the campaign.

With Quiz tickets and poster sales combined, £1,450 was raised for the Save Our Venues Campaign. Ally Wolf from the Clapham Grand who joined us on the Zoom quiz call said:

It’s incredibly kind of you all and we are all so so grateful.

Thank you to all our members who took part and donated. You can still donate to the Save Our Venues campaign and get some great rewards here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/mvtredalert.

Some Voices

SOME VOICES started small in 2010, with seven chorus members meeting up to perform original arrangements of popular classics that range from Bowie to Bjork, from Stevie Wonder to Stevie Nicks, from Folk to Hip Hop, and everything in between - all with a Some Voices twist.

Nine years down the line, more than 1500 singers are now part of the exciting ensemble that performs on some of the biggest stages in London. KOKO, The Southbank Centre, Oval Space,The Rivoli Ballroom, The Grand Clapham, HERE and The Troxy have all seen the group attract audiences in their thousands
