Boff recommended this song 'Tiny Notes' by @theyounguns.bsky.social (Based on a true story). A beautiful start to the day. #PositiveStories #folk m.youtube.com/watch?v=hJmM...

We're all looking forward to this 🎶✊

Can you imagine a whole graphic novel expressed in the form of song? You can now! Here’s @commonerschoir.bsky.social singing their original composition This Slavery in Queen Street Mill, Lancashire

Is this true? @markthomasinfo.bsky.social :( #ChagosIslands

We are all Citizens of the World. It belongs to all of us. Sometimes we need to escape to another place for safety; sometimes we visit or relocate for a change of scene, a rest, or to enjoy different cultures. We celebrate glorious human variety 🎶 #Shanty #RefugeesWelcome youtu.be/Erbwl_fQTeA?...

We've just made a list of events for next year, right up till Nov. With an emphasis on the positive. Boff planning many new songs 🎶 Exciting times :) This is still my morning tune. youtu.be/lMEYjWcu3Ds?...

Boff has summed up the last year out there as 'Absolute Shitshow' but we've still managed to have fun amongst it all. Sometimes we just need a break. Next year will be all about celebrating positives - embracing 'Pleasure Activism'. Link to the full fb post: www.facebook.com/100062486204...

In November, @commonerschoir.bsky.social sang their new song This Slavery in Queen Street Mill textile museum as part of Trouble At Mill - there was barely a dry eye in the house

Here's to a positive 2026. It was a toss up between 'Call it a Genocide' (youtu.be/xRHZwb7HCY8?...) and our far cheerier 'Union Jill'. Let's be happy today. youtu.be/lMEYjWcu3Ds?...

Finally a video for Citizen Shanty, written in 2017 when Theresa May was going on about citizens of nowhere, as if that'd be a bad idea. 'You're more than welcome here' is now sung by choirs all over the world 🎶 Ta for t'film #PhilMoody #RefugeesWelcome youtu.be/Erbwl_fQTeA?...

My 2 fave pics from our trip to Manresa. Commoners on la Torre de Caterina. (Ta @alisontomlin.bsky.social ) #Catalunya

A few snippets from our gig with #CorIncordis. We'll have to wait for the full version of our 2 choirs singing L'estaca, with the whole theatre audience standing and singing along. Such a high! #Manresa #Catalunya #NoPassaran youtu.be/t0M-S-FkX6w?...

Commoners are gathering in Manresa for a special gig with #CorIncordis as part of the celebrations of the death of Franco 50 years ago. We'll be singing in català, castellano and english. It's been over a year in the planning! www.kursaal.cat/programacio/...

Delighted to say that Mike McGrother + Infant Hercules men’s choir will be helping us kick off the Big Boro Bash with our family concert 11am-12noon on 15th November. Mike has done so much for Teesside+men’s mental health Family tickets - £10 for a group of 4

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

This year's Commoners' caper... Singing with Cor Incordis in Manresa! #antifascist #Catalunya @commonerschoir.bsky.social

Jesus fucking CHRIST.
