We’re so excited to be heading back to the beautiful Land of Oak & Iron this Sunday!

Join us in the courtyard on Sunday 26th July, from 2:30pm–3:30pm, for an hour of uplifting songs, summer vibes and plenty of feel-good music.

This clip of us singing Mr Blue Sky was filmed when we performed at the Land of Oak & Iron last term, and we can’t wait to be back in such a fantastic setting to share another afternoon of live music with you.

Whether you’re a regular supporter or you’ve never seen us before, we’d love you to come along, bring your friends and family, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon with us.

We’re very excited to be sharing this!

A good handful of Urban Chorus folk are heading off to the Mouthful residential weekend, and it’s shaping up to be a brilliant few days of singing, food, and general joy-making.

There are still a few spaces left for anyone who’s been thinking about it.

It’s always such a special thing when the wider singing community comes together like this. Come and join us if you can! 🎶

Stranger Things were well and truly in the air this Christmas… 🎄🧇

While everyone else was getting ready for Santa, we were also channelling the Upside Down — Christmas lights, 80s energy and a little bit of festive weirdness thrown in for good measure.

With today’s new episodes dropping and everyone glued to their screens, we couldn’t resist leaning into the Stranger Things hype — festive chaos, big smiles, and a soundtrack that felt very on theme.

Wishing you all a very Merry Stranger-mas ❤️🎄

Merry Christmas from everyone at Urban Chorus🎄

This little video says it all – lots of smiles, plenty of laughter, and the joy we’ve had singing together this year. We’re so grateful to everyone who’s been part of our journey, whether you’ve sung with us, listened along, or supported us from afar.

Sending love, festive cheer, and warm wishes from our choir to you… and hoping Santa brings you a little extra magic 🎅❤️
Merry Christmas everyone ✨🎶

We told you we’d been busy… and here’s another little moment from our festive adventures 🎶🎄

On Monday evening we gathered a lovely crowd outside Station East turning the pavement into a real-life singing Christmas card as we belted out Merry Christmas Everyone and shared some proper festive cheer. Smiles, singing, and Christmas vibes all round!

Did this make you feel a bit more Christmassy?

🎶✨ What a week it’s been for Urban Chorus! ✨🎶

We’ve been busier than Santa’s elves — and definitely just as sparkly.

We kicked things off on Sunday morning by bringing a burst of festive cheer to the lovely shoppers at Tynemouth Market. From classic Christmas vibes to feel-good favourites, we absolutely loved soaking up the atmosphere and singing our way into the season! 🎄💫

And guess what? That was only the beginning! We’ve got more performances to share from this wonderfully busy week… but we’ll save those little festive surprises for our next posts. 😉

If you’re enjoying following our musical adventures, stick around — there’s plenty more joy, harmonies and behind-the-scenes fun to come!

Thinking about booking a choir for your event in the New Year? Or feeling tempted to join the singing yourself? We’d love to hear from you!

Here’s to more music, magic, and a very merry season ahead. ❤️🎶
