A huge thank you to everyone who made Bedford Sings 2024 such a great success.
Nearly one thousand people were involved and there were magical moments a-plenty:
• Pink Singers and Tibbs Dementia sharing song and dance from our youth
• the 170 singers from four choirs singing together with the audience under the magical leadership of Greg Link (Collaboration Choir, Enchord, Phoenix Chorus, Pink Singers)
• Clare College Cambridge - one of the world's great choirs with the superb Graham Ross
• local singers (in various churches)
The Future
We have exciting plans for the future. The festival dates are July 17-19 2026 and the theme is Migration. If you would like your choir to be involved or you can volunteer to help please get in touch.
