Love Pop Choir Ilkley
Prosecco Welcome Evening
9th September 2025

Ilkley Prosecco Evening - Oh What A Night! ✨

What an unforgettable night we had at our Ilkley Prosecco Evening, it was one of those special gatherings that reminds us why we love being part of Love Pop Choir so much. 🥂

From the moment the doors opened the room was buzzing with excitement. Glasses of chilled Prosecco sparkled in hand as old friends reconnected after the Summer break and new faces were welcomed into the choir. It was especially wonderful to see so many lovely new ladies joining our fabulous Choir Director, Katie, and our fabulous Ilkley ladies choir for an evening of drinks, laughter and of course lots of singing!

The room quickly filled to the brim and the happy chatter created a warm atmosphere even before the first note was sung. Katie, as always, brought her signature energy and humour, starting the evening with a hilarious vocal warm up that had everyone laughing and instantly relaxed. 

It didn’t take long before the choir dove into a series of iconic pop hits and very quickly those harmonies were ringing out beautifully across the room. The speed at which the group picked up the songs was so impressive. 🎤

The evening was a great success and our Ilkley choir is bursting at the seams, with so many enthusiastic new members joining us. It’s wonderful to see all our seven Yorkshire choirs flourishing, welcoming new voices and spreading joy across the region.❤️

 

Love Pop Choir Otley
Prosecco Launch Night
10th September 2025

 

Love Pop Choir Otley Has Launched! 🎉   

Our brand new Otley ladies choir is officially in full swing and they already sound fantastic!  

We couldn’t be more thrilled to see so many amazing women coming together to sing, laugh and create something truly special.  Weekly rehearsals will take place in the stunning surroundings of The Canopy Bar at The Treehouse Bar & Kitchen in Otley, such a beautiful venue for our Otley choir to enjoy. 

Our wonderful new choir members were welcomed with a complimentary glass of prosecco as the room filled and everyone got to know each other.  Leading the way was our super talented Choir Director, Katie, whose infectious energy and passion for music instantly put everyone at ease. With her trademark humour and encouragement, she had the whole group laughing, relaxing and singing their hearts out within minutes. Katie’s skilled direction made even first time singers feel confident, reminding everyone that Love Pop Choir is all about fun, not perfection. 🎶 

The evening began with some fun and lively warm ups to get everyone loosened up and ready to sing. Once the vocal cords were ready, we jumped straight into classic pop hits Video Killed The Radio Star and Love Is All Around Us. It was so wonderful to hear how quickly the group picked up the harmonies and blended their voices, it already felt like a well established choir, even on night one.

To top it all off, we captured some brilliant moments on video so you can enjoy the highlights of this fantastic launch evening in our featured video below. 

You can also find lots more Love Pop Choir videos on our YouTube channel, please give us a like if you enjoy them. 👍

Starting a new choir isn’t just about singing, it’s about building a community of friendship, confidence, and shared joy. Watching our Otley ladies come together so effortlessly reminded us exactly why we do what we do. Whether you’ve been singing for years or have never sung outside your shower, there’s a place for you at Love Pop Choir. 

A huge welcome to the Love Pop Choir family ladies. ❤️ 

Love Pop Choir Saltaire
Yardfest
14th September 2025


Yardfest: The Smallest Festival with the Biggest Heart! ❤️


Our amazing ladies from Love Pop Choir Saltaire kicked off their Autumn half term in true style with their annual performance at Yardfest and what a fabulous performance it was! 

Year after year this small but mighty festival proves that you don’t need a big stage or huge crowds to create unforgettable memories. 

This year was no exception as our talented singers filled the streets of Saltaire with fabulous harmonies for everyone to enjoy. 🎶

This annual event has become a firm favourite for our ladies choir and this year’s event did not disappoint. 

Part of the Saltaire Festival, Yardfest turns local streets into a lively outdoor venue packed with great music, friendly faces, and a buzzing atmosphere.

Led by our super talented Choir Director, Shane, our fabulous Saltaire ladies choir delivered an energetic mix of late Summer favourites and pop classics, bringing plenty of fun and a beautiful sound to the festival. Yardfest’s relaxed format meant people of all ages could enjoy the music, whether they were passing through, meeting friends, or staying for the whole event. 

We’re already looking forward to next year’s Yardfest where we’ll be back to bring even more music and fun to the streets of Saltaire.
