Spotlight #3 - Andy Levey

What does the LGMC mean to you?
I didn’t know many gay people before I joined the Chorus, so it’s been a great opportunity to meet new people, and understand that many of the things I’d been holding onto from being in the closet weren’t just being felt by me. I have made, and continue to make, lifelong friends as a result.

What has been a key moment for you in the LGMC?
Undoubtedly for me it was singing at the vigil for the Orlando Pulse club shooting in 2016. The tragedy happened in the early hours of the morning after our History show, and we quickly organised to sing Bridge Over Troubled Water at the vigil. After the 2 minute silence, balloons were released and we started singing. Thousands of people were standing on Old Compton Street who just stood and listened as we sang. It was a great moment to be able to use our voices to show solidarity with our siblings not just in Orlando, but globally.

Why should you come see MOMENTus?
This is going to be such a joyous celebration of 35 years of the LGMC. We’ll make you laugh, we might make you cry, but we’ll definitely leave you feeling uplifted.

Spotlight #2 - Mark Ashton, AKA Matron!

What does the LGMC mean to you?
Music brings people together. It celebrates. It advocates. It challenges and it builds bridges! The LGMC embodies all this and more!

What has been a key LGMC moment for you?
At an outreach event during LGBT+ History Month in 2012 I was reminded that being LGBT+ is as much about history, culture, language, and community as it is about sexuality.

Why should you come see MOMENTus?
For the price of a show ticket you get a night out, a smile on your face, joy in your heart and know that you have financially supported necessary and thriving community action.

What does the LGMC meant to you?

The Chorus has become part of who I am. It’s given me a home, friends to hang out with, and a sense of real belonging.

What has been a key moment for you in the LGMC?

There have been so many. Singing with Sandi Toksvig in the Royal Albert Hall, for Katherine Ryan at the Palladium or appearing in Hannah Waddingham’s Christmas Special on TV were real highlights. But also some of the less flashy events we’ve been part of. The first Hand in Hand festival I went to in Cardiff in 2019 was really special for me, getting to know lots of new people in the Chorus (it was my first year), meeting lots of people from other gay choirs, and then singing on the iconic stage at St David’s Hall was amazing. Filled me with so much joy. As did the more recent tour to Italy. The tours and festivals are one of the things I look forward to most.

Why should you come see MOMENTus?

Because we’ll put a smile on your face whether you want us to or not. A tsunami of joy and fun will smack you about the face!

What a weekend!

Yesterday, our first Discovery Session brought some of those waiting to join together with current chorus members to rehearse, perform, and find their voice - culminating in a performance in front of 130+ people at the Actors’ Church, Covent Garden.

People were walking in off the street to simply hear the music.

As Olivier said: “I had no expectations but to check if singing could be my thing, and it definitely is.”

The first Discovery Session - and definitely not our last.

Watch one of the songs from the evening and see where the journey led. Sometimes, being part of a community starts with singing together.

As we near the end of LGBTQ+ History Month, we quiz our boys on what queer cultural moments left an impact on them 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈 Let us know what yours are in the comments!

PS. There’s an extended cut on our YouTube channel 😉: LdnGMC
