Liverpool Choir's Street Songs for Social Justice

The Liverpool Socialist Singers, a street choir, have been using music to support social justice causes for sixteen years. With no auditions needed, the group of twenty-one members, aged from their mid-twenties to eighty, performs at various events, from picket lines to marches. Their songbook includes traditional folk songs, Beatles-tune twists, and original tunes, all designed to inform, entertain, and rally communities. The choirs performances release endorphins, lifting moods and opening people up emotionally and physically. They support striking museum staff, community groups, and campaigns to save places like Liverpool Womens Hospital. The choir offers a joyful way to connect and push back against tough politics, often handing out lyric sheets for crowds to join in.
