In Autumn 2024, taking a break from HCS Voices, I returned to Holmfirth Tech for the first time since the pandemic. Previously home to the Singing for Fun group but this time to sing with Dan Price's Soul Choir.
The Soul Choir sings a varied mix of Soul styles including Motown, Blues and Gospel, learning by ear. On my first evening singing with the choir, we covered uplifting songs by Bob Marley, Carole King, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield and Diana Ross & The Supremes.
On my second evening Dan introduced me to the Northern Soul group MVPS and their hit 'Turning Their Heartbeat Up' that he had arranged in three parts. A really enjoyable sing amongst a list of foot tappers!

My first gig with the Soul Choir will be a return to Holmfirth Picturedrome , this time in the theatre rather than the Box Office Bar.
