Our story
Pip Baker and James Bonner started The Adam Street Singers in May 2010 purely as a way of getting their friends together once a week for a sing and a drink or two. Everyone was having so much fun that they decided to do a public performance. Fortunately they were able to assemble from their group friends a team to write and teach the music, choreograph the dancing, organise and direct the performance and handle the lighting and sound. In September 2010 the Adam Street Singers performed their first concert at the Lost Theatre, Stockwell. Further productions followed in March and October 2011.
In November 2011 the choir flashmobbed a London train in an elaborate marriage proposal by member Adam King to his girlfriend. A video edited together from mobile phone footage became a global YouTube hit and led to the Adam Street Singers performing on BBC Radio 5 Live's Breakfast show.
Since the beginning of 2012 the Adam Street Singers have grown and got a lot busier! As well as putting on our own bigger and increasingly ambitious concerts in May and November 2012, we have also performed at choir competitions and choral festivals, weddings, corporate events, music festivals and charity fundraisers.
Our 40 or so members continue to meet for singing and drinking once a week at the Adam Street Club in London and in 2013 we aim to continue to grow, get involved with other events and find new challenges.
