Thousands of Londoners are – quite literally – banding together to belt out pop and indie hymns in some of the city’s iconic venues, with the rest of us paying good money to watch. Popular groups now have years-long waiting lists. Forget angelic choirboys in ruffs and dodgy Kumbaya recitals, choirs are now cool – and very much for adults.
