Colton Methodist Church - 17th October 2026
We had a fantastic afternoon at Colton Methodist Church on Saturday! It was lovely to share our History of Musicals and Last Night of the Proms programme with such an enthusiastic audience, and for our encore, Cheek to Cheek, people were even dancing in the aisles!
A huge thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome and wonderful hospitality. And of course, special thanks for the excellent cakes, which are always a highlight!

A huge thank you to St Helen's Church for giving us such a warm welcome, and to our wonderful audience for their fantastic response throughout the evening. We were delighted to be joined by Claire Helm, whose performance added so much to the concert, and it was a real pleasure to work with her once again!

Canal Gardens - 12th July 2026
We had the pleasure of performing in the beautiful Canal Gardens at Roundhay Park on Sunday.
Despite the heat and blazing sunshine, we found a welcome patch of shade and played our hearts out. Our programme featured music from Jesus Christ Superstar, First Suite in Eb, You Can’t Stop the Beat, MacArthur Park, and of course our signature tune, Yorkshire Pudding.
The audience was fantastic — thank you so much to everyone who came along and supported us.








Springhead Park, Rothwell - 7th June 2026
We played at Springhead Park yesterday, battling strong winds, a dark sky and the odd spot of rain. Keeping music (and hair) under control was a challenge, but we still completed our full programme. We opened each half in traditional style with a march and an overture, followed by film music, musical theatre favourites and a couple of pop tunes.
Huge thanks to everyone who braved the weather to listen.
