It's simple and it's fun!Anyone who loves the idea of singing is welcome to come check us out every Wednesday from 8 to 10 pm at Somerhill Junior School, Somerhill Road, in Hove.BCS HISTORY SO FAR Brighton City Singers was launched in July 2003, in a living room in Palmeira Square. Half a dozen singers gathered together to discuss forming a choir under the musical leadership of MJ Paranzino, who had taught all of them either in individual lessons or vocal workshops.Since that evening the choir has gone from strength to strength, and now has over sixty paying members. 2005 is the second year BCS has performed in the Brighton Fringe Festival, and this time the choir has been recognised with a generous grant from the Brighton Hove Arts Council.The Brighton City Singers is an all-embracing, non-auditioning (and deeply groovy) choir which has flourished under the dynamic leadership of MJ. The Brighton City Singers perform whenever possible at weddings, funerals, parties, fundraising events, and love to busk along the seafront and the Pavilion Gardens. In 2005, The Brighton City Singers started a programme of community outreach concerts for the disabled, hospice residents, building restoration events, inmates at Lewes Prison, and so on - in the belief that singing is a joyous and mutually uplifting experience.The choir continues to grow and is now accepting commissions for songs and performances from both private and public institutions, such as participating in the upcoming unveiling of the magnificent restoration of Embassy Court in September 2005.* * * * *It's just about Singing and YouTeaching and Learning from each otherCreating and Breathing together as one.Just do it, Come and SingIt's great funIt's great community.- MJ
