Corridor

The choir was started in January 2016 by composer and conductor, Michael Betteridge. Michael wanted to create a new male voice choir to brighten up Sunday evenings by bringing gay men and their allies together to sing exceptionally. 

Over the two years The Sunday Boys has grown from small beginnings to perform at prestigious gigs in the city and beyond.

The Sunday Boys were touring in Iceland earlier this year.

The Sunday Boys delivered their first large gig in July 2017 where they celebrated the the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which initiated the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. They were touring in Iceland earlier this year and were seen more recently in July 2018 at the prestigious Stoller Hall in Manchester celebrating “Our Manchester Home” with
award-winning poet, Andrew McMillan.
