So Choir! LEEDS – THE fun, Social Choir in Leeds for everyone!
Looking for a Leeds choir that’s more like a pub gig than a choir rehearsal? So Choir! is THE super-fun, social choir in a bar! No ability needed, no auditions, no awkwardness, no worries. Even if you feel you can’t sing or don’t like the sound of your own voice (who does?!) you’re TOTALLY welcome along. Rock up to The Tetley Pub, grab a drink and you’re in!
So Choir! in Leeds is the SOcial Choir (see what we did there?). We’re all about getting awesome people together for laughs, live music and to sing great songs. We’ll teach you everything as we go – just add your voice to the mix and get ready for that brilliant moment when it all comes together in one HUGE sound!
Sometimes, So Choir! gets a bit carried away…
Earlier this year, we packed 130 people into Selby Town Hall for one MASSIVE singalong of Shed Seven’s Chasing Rainbows. We taught the whole thing on the night, built it into a huge three-part harmony and then let 130 voices loose on it. One song, one very loud room… and this happened:
The finished video has since been watched tens of thousands of times, shared by Shed Seven themselves and even got a rather brilliant reaction from frontman Rick Witter. Not bad for a room full of people who just fancied a sing!
Big songs. Live music. Huge harmonies. That’s So Choir!
The Tetley Pub | So Choir! Leeds venue
So Choir in Leeds takes place on Wednesday evenings at The Tetley Pub – the stunning art deco former HQ of Tetley’s Brewery, set in the new city centre development of Aire Park.
It’s just an 8 minute walk from the heart of Leeds city centre and a 10 minute walk from Leeds railway station. If you’re driving, The Tetley Pub is easy to find with plenty of parking options nearby.
Located on the ground floor, with full accessibility, where better to enjoy a pint of Tetley’s than where it was born nearly 200 years ago? Their all-day food menu features a selection of homemade pub classics, including their signature steak, Tetley Best Bitter pie, and Three Swords beer-battered fish & chips.
Fancy something lighter or to share? You can’t go wrong with loaded fries, hummus and warm bread or beer-battered onion rings! You’ll also find vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options too. Check out the full menu here.
