History

The choir was formed in 2001, and grew slowly for its first few years. Operation Fundraiser’s generous sponsorship helped the group to develop a diverse and interesting repertoire and attracted many new members.

Having won the Bronze Medal at the World OutGames in Montreal, the chorus went on to win Silver at the OutGames in Copenhagen in July 2009

Award winning choir wows audiences in Manchester

In Manchester over the weekend of 20th-21st November, 2010, audiences were entranced by the Manchester Lesbian and Gay Chorus at a sell-out at concert at the Dancehouse Theatre with Gay Abandon from Leeds and The Pink Singers from London, and the next day at the Manchester Amateur Choral Competition at the
Royal Northern College of Music.

MLGC wowed audiences with their inventive twist to ‘What Shall We Do WithThe Drunken Sailor?’ and their performance of sign language in ‘Every Time We Say Goodbye’. The chorus came third out of 13 national choirs. The judges praised the choir for their interaction with the audience.
