After the short break we're back rehearsing for upcoming performances in June and July. In his inaugural rehearsal as Choir Master Adam Bridges introduced the Choir to a lovely celebrant piece - A Life Well Lived written by William Morris. See the score on our Facebook page.

See you on Tuesday at 18:45!

This Tuesday the choir will be joining forces with the University College London University's Atheist, Secularist & Humanist Society (bit of a mouth full that) to hold a hour long workshop where you can get a taste of the choir and have a good sing all in the name of raising money! It's part of 'Non Prophet Week' - aka Godless Giving.

You can download the flyer / poster here.

We've started our winter term and are limbering up for our end of year concert and a series of humanist and charity related appearances. Now is the best time to get involved if you like singing and have a humanist outlook on life. We're a great bunch of people.

To see what we're about here's a great video we've put together to give you a taste of what we got upto over the last year.

On Saturday 18th June the BHA Choir performed at the Pirate Castle Open Weekend, specifically at the ceremony launching their brand new boat. The Pirate Castle in Camden is home to a charitable youth club, which the BHA Choir used as their rehearsal space during autumn 2010 and spring 2011. Between the Mayor of Camden cutting the ribbon the Choir performed their renditions of Sumer Is Icumen In and One Day Like This, as well as the sea shanty Blow the Man Down, which they learnt especially for the event. The piratical dress code was enthusiastically fulfilled by Choir members. Photos of the day can be seen in our gallery and you can find out more about the Pirate Castle on their website and Facebook page.

The Pirate Castle are hosting their Open Weekend on the 18th/19th July and the BHA Choir have been invited to sing at the launch of their brand new boat! We've been learning a sea shanty especially for the performance and will be dressed in the appropriate costume. If you fancy a go at canoeing or feel that you have too little in the way of piratical merchandise I would highly recommend it.
