ABOUT
In 1991, nine friends came together to sing a few Christmas carols at Angel Underground Station hoping to raise a few pounds for the Terrence Higgins Trust. London was in the midst of the AIDS crisis and the men, who belonged to a social group called London Friend sang together to find a place of support, of friendship and of brotherhood. Little did they know what they had kickstarted.
Fast-forward almost 35 years, and this once small band of singers now calls itself the London Gay Men’s Chorus.
Our vision is a world where everyone is brought together through song. We work to achieve this by creating, enabling and connecting confident voices across communities with fun, hope, love, joy and fearless allyship.
Boasting over 300 members, the LGMC is the largest gay choir in Europe and regularly plays to sell-out crowds at venues in and around London and beyond. Over the years, the Chorus has worked with a diverse range of artists including pop stars Mark Ronson and Sir Elton John, soprano Lesley Garrett, country legend Dolly Parton, musical theatre & Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, designer Anya Hindmarch and comedians Sandi Toksvig and Katherine Ryan. The LGMC has also appeared on Children In Need, Comic Relief, The One Show, The Graham Norton Show, Top of the Pops and The Great British Bake Off.
