<\/p>\nA mass choir event is happening at BOXPARK Liverpool this September, raising money for two local charities, and anyone can join in.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t need to be pitch perfect or even have sung in public before \u2013 One! Choir is all about the joy of getting together to belt out a song.<\/p>\n
One! Choir is being launched by Tim Taylor, who is musical director and founder of the popular Liverpool Indie Choir.<\/p>\n
He noticed a trend for more pop-up mass choirs happening around the country and decided we shouldn\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n
Tim said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got the right experience and the right passion so I wanted to be a part of that,\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cOne! Choir will be about making choir even more accessible because I know people aren\u2019t always able to come to sessions every week \u2013 this is having that choir experience on one night, rather than it being a regular commitment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did something similar in Camp & Furnace last September, and then an opportunity arose to do it at BOXPARK this year. They thought it was a brilliant idea and they\u2019ve been so helpful, I\u2019ve already got the next one booked in the same venue for December 1.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tim plans to hold regular mass choir events in the city, with a launch on Monday September 29 raising money for two charities \u2013 Clatterbridge Cancer charity, and Bradbury Fields which supports blind and partially sighted people in Liverpool and Knowsley.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He says it\u2019s a chance for people to come with friends, family members or on their own and just be part of a fantastic feelgood experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year I\u2019ve been reflecting on why I do what I do, and the main reason was it was making people happy, seeing people\u2019s smiling faces, that\u2019s the thing that gives me most pleasure.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s such a joyous thing to be involved in, and there is no barrier to entry \u2013 if you\u2019ve never done anything like this before, you can still come along. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re not perfect, not with that amount of people, and the vast majority of people are actually very capable of singing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe word choir tends to have a bit of a stereotype still, people think of churches and hymns and carols, and it all being quite regimented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our choirs it\u2019s about doing really cool songs and having the fun and friendships, all the exciting enjoyable things that go with group singing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyone taking part in One! Choir in September doesn\u2019t need to go to rehearsals or even learn the words in advance.<\/p>\n

\nTim explains:<\/p>\n
\u201cEssentially this will be like a choir rehearsal, just with hundreds of people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019ll be a big screen with lyrics on, so everyone can see the words and sing along and I\u2019ll pick songs that people will know well. I\u2019ll teach by ear, get us all singing verses, then split the group to sing different parts before bringing it all together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe arrangements are pretty straightforward and simple because we want that accessibility, and we\u2019ll also do some singalongs and big fantastic choruses.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the end we\u2019ll bring together one or two songs in harmony, and it will all be filmed so people can actually see and hear what they sounded like on the night singing with all these other people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tim says mass choir events attract a wide range of ages, men and women, and people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things I love the most about choir, and the response we get is so heartwarming. I was getting messages for weeks after last year\u2019s event from people saying how much they\u2019d loved being able to sing with their partner, or with their children for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n
