The BIG Sing Choir presents:

'Joy To The World' 

Carols at Christmas Tour 2024

Yay Christmas is coming! 

Join our special 2024 BIG Sing Christmas Tour to perform with us! HOW EXCITING IS THIS?!

What an AMAZING journey we have enjoyed at The BIG Sing since being on Britain's Got Talent; singing at iconic venues like Windsor Castle and at many festivals and concert halls around the country AND winning a National Entertainment Award which means we are performing at the Indigo O2 in November! BUT CHRISTMAS time is our FAVOURITE! Wow we can't wait to show you all off singing on our special Christmas Tour this year. Please book your spot to let us know you will be performing with us. Family and friends will need to book their audience tickets directly with the venue - we will add the link here as soon as it is available.

SOUNDCHECK: 5 pm
DOORS OPEN: 6 pm
SHOW TIME: 6:30pm  First half 6.30-7.15pm  Interval 7.15-7.45 pm  Second half 7.45-8.30 pm

The soundcheck is a really important time to get the sound levels right. Expect to hear feedback, loud noises as the engineers get the levels right. Also it takes time to get the levels in the monitors right so you can hear the music. Please just be patient, it is a process and we will need you to be quiet and only sing when directed so we can get the best sound for the show.

Please do help us by keeping all movement in the show as quiet as possible - and please do not talk in between songs.  If you are unable to stand for our songs then let your tutor know and we will provide a chair.

You will have a Green Room to put your bags and coats.

If there are any problems on the day please only talk to our tutors and they will sort them out.

WATER: you may take a bottle of water (with a lid) on stage. (no hot drinks please)

Most of all please help one another, guide each other, be considerate and be kind to each other - we are family!
