Earlier in the summer the LGMC performed at the Royal Albert Hall as part of EuroPride ’06. I remember the day as being long and tedious because the tech-rehearsal took so long to complete. Anyway, after it was complete and before we all went off to hunt for food in advance of the show, we went out onto the terrace between the Albert Hall itself and the Royal College of Music and ran some of our numbers.
As we sang, occasional members of the public wandering by would stop and listen to us for a while before moving on (usually with a slightly bemused look upon their faces.) Well, it turns out that one of the local residents also heard us and got out her video camera. As a result, we are now on YouTube…

Click on the link and you’ll be able to watch us (from a rather oblique angle) rehearse our big camp number, Keep It Gay. It suffers a little from being a cappella, but you have the added bonus of Simon’s shouted instructions as he conducts while balanced on a balustrade. If you’ve never seen/heard us perform, it will give you some idea of how we are at our gayest…
