Description
Let The Sunday Boys take you on a journey through 50 Years of Change and beyond.
On their first solo concert of singing and celebration, they reflect on the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality and challenge existing prejudices.
With original composition from Phillip Venables, Anna Appleby, Alfie Austin (Husk) and other professional composers, classical repertoire from Benjamin Britten and Francis Poulenc, and arrangements of hits from the Scissor Sisters, John Grant and Anthony and the Johnsons (to name a few), this is sure to be a concert like no other.

Fabulous and impactful.
We want to really mark the occassion the gig is centred around and also create exciting new work that has impact. As part of this we have commissioned a work that brings to our attention the work still to be done for everyone to be accepted for who they are.
Please be aware that an element of tomorrow night's performance features a dramatic performance. Delivered within the context of the CAKE (Ubi Caritas)piece this will include the reading of verbatim Social Media comments which contain profanity and hate speech and therefore could be difficult listening for some.
50 Years of Change is supported using public funds by Arts Council England.
