Just got in from a @commonerschoir.bsky.social gig at the opening of this exhibition phm.org.uk/exhibitions/... very cool little exhibition detailing, well, just click the link.

Bern made a few videos to go with our songs. This is particularly rousing, inspired by @johnlydonofficial.bsky.social seen on TV by @boffwhalley.bsky.social back in the olden days. We sing in 4 (even 5) parts now 🎶🎶🎶🎶 #GetOffYourArse #punk #choir youtu.be/jed1MiiFTc4?...

We'll be singing in a cinema to mark 90 years since the release of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. I'm looking forward to seeing the film on a proper screen. If you haven't seen it, I'd really recommend it. It's about (I think) not having enough money to participate in the society you live in.

I like to listen to this on #internationalwomensday #women #suffragettes @commonerschoir.bsky.social youtu.be/66tOrsbyO0Q?...

We don't have a particular party allegiance, but we certainly know who we don't want to get in in Gorton. Sticker by @markthomasinfo.bsky.social :)

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?...
