review

The City of Brighton Gay Men's Chorus put on a special show for Pride to present A Very Civil Partnership.

The evening was light-hearted and featured tunes old and new, some very dry wit and even a spot of dancing as the Chorus told a story through their performance.

All tastes were catered for, from the soothing melodies of Rent's Seasons of love to the energy of Madonna's Hung Up and all the fun of Do Re Mi.

The hilarious Lorraine Bowen had the audience in fits with her wacky performance of her brilliant 'Crumble' song and we were treated to a couple of numbers from the fabulous Lola Lasagne, before the Rainbow Chorus came on - at first singing on their own, before joining together with the Gay Men's Chorus for the final numbers.

A superb evening's entertainment.

Since then, the chorus has performed at a number of high profile events, including The Phil Starr Tribute Gala at the magnificent Dome Concert Hall. They have also performed at Winter Pride in Whitehawk, The Brighton Festival and The Golden Handbag Awards.
