Recent Concerts and Events
2025 gigs so far
We’ve had a few – sorry not to have reported on them! We had a standing ovation from the Mossley crowd – great evening; and Abney Orchestra have immediately asked us back, another fab event where we premiered our 1812 overture. Holidays at Home: “another stunning performance”; “best choir I’ve ever seen”.
Whaley Bridge – 12th October 24
Posted by a random audience member: “I had a fantastic musical evening on Saturday at the Uniting Church, the Monday Mondays choir was absolutely wonderful and the range of music was amazing”
Pennine WI – 27th September 24
Another great gig. “You were all amazing!”
Holidays at Home, Bramhall – 18th August 24
I think we rather took them by storm. Great gig; doubtless we’ll be back there. Comments: “fab choir”, “great entertainment”, “God given gifts”
Dimestone Dirtbags
Sarah from the choir/ Monkuleles, and Randy from the Monkuleles were at the Buxton Fringe on 14th and 20th July singing Texas music.
Two fab gigs: Ashton library on 21st June for Making Music day (“went down a storm….. you all sounded really tight – a great performance”) and with the fab Abney Orchestra in Friezland on 23rd June (“a superbly entertaining group and I think everyone in the Church was lifted by your joy in performing such a versatile, imaginative programme”)
Joy and Kevin
Joy and Kevin’s show at Trinity Church, Audenshaw sold out. I’d tell you how good it was, but we couldn’t get tickets… 😉
Christ Church, Ramsbottom – 23rd March 24
Another fab concert, with Amanda on cello as a guest spot. We wowed ’em again. Only one or two spare seats and people were also sitting in the anteroom – so a packed house, raising funds for the local hospice.
St Michael’s, Bramhall – 10 February 24
Another sell-out. Comment from an audience member: “Brilliant and bonkers!” Hm… We quite like that actually.
ICE annual Christmas concert in St Anns Manchester – 12th December
This annual event is always a joy. It went really well, with fab singing and very favourable comments afterwards. “Another amazing night in this amazing beautiful church.” “Thank you we had a lovely evening love the Monday Mondays.”
Lyme Park Christmas sing – 10th December
Oh no, the weather forecast was a yellow warning of rain. So we weren’t able to sing for them. Really sad about it.
Mossley Community 8 December
Another sold out evening at Mossley – what a wonderful group of people, and a real community atmosphere. “What a fantastic evening! Loved the the MONDAY MONDAY’S A CAPELLA CHOIR. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!! Amazing x.” “…amazingly entertaining and uplifting choir.” “…their unique take is inspiring to listen to and fun to watch.”
Willow Wood Garden of 1000 Lights 28 November
Lovely atmosphere again at Willow Wood, and a warm welcome as usual. We managed to stretch their ability to produce enough mulled wine 😉
St John Baptist Rochdale Sat 28 October
A new venue for us – a wonderful and recently restored church by the rail and metro stations. Once again we were a big hit with the audience, and had a wonderful time singing in a rather over-lively acoustic :). Lots of lovely reaction from the audience, and an introduction to another potentially high profile gig in Rochdale.
Susanna and Guy Clark: A Story of Turbulent Love Wed 25 October
A repeat of this lovely event in Stockport, at the Petersgate Tap. Organised by Sarah and Randy, together with Richard and a few non-choir others.
Swing and Swing Again Big Band 8 October 2023
Chris, in our tenors, is the vocalist with the Swing and Swing Again Big Band. Their last event in Sale was apparently fab again, as expected.
Zion Methodist Church, Lees, Oldham 7 October 2023
We sang at the Zion Methodist Church, Lees, Oldham to a packed house in the afternoon of Saturday 7th October – a new venue for us. Great comments from everyone, and various invitations to perform elsewhere. Hooray.
Spring Bank Arts Centre 9 September 2023
Another belter of a gig, a big audience (almost full) who had a great time judging by their comments at the end – as of course did we. The weather was far from favourable for singers (hot hot hot), but undaunted we still did our stuff. Super fun. Audience comments: “I’m still on a high – what a tonic!!” “A fabulous night”
Mossley Community Centre 30 June 2023
A blast! The Mondays had a fab time, with a very enthusiastic full house on their feet at the end.
Comments from the audience: “Funny, moving and joyful”; “So uplifting”; “When can they come back?”. We will be back soon.
6 July 23
An event at the Buxton Fringe, featuring/put on by two of our number:
SUSANNA AND GUY CLARK: A STORY OF TURBULENT LOVE – Dimestore Dirtbags and friends
An evening of songs, poems and stories from and about alt-country’s power couple, Susanna and Guy Clark (and one or two from Townes Van Zandt, the other man in their lives). Featuring the Dimestore Dirtbags (Sarah McConnell and Randy Horton), Matt Hill, Don Dolby, Keith Smitheman and Richard Jones.
High Peak Bookstore and Cafe 7:30pm to 9:30pm
We had about a dozen Mondays there in the capacity audience – a great night out.
A Musical Meander Around Britain, featuring Joy and Kevin from the choir. We had more than a dozen of the Mondays rent-a-crowd at this – a wonderful show; awesome in its original sense in that we were left in total awe at the high quality of, well, everything.
15 July 23
18-22 July 23
New musical, featuring Amanda from the choir with her cello
