"Tutti Fruity is a brand new LGBT friendly choir, beginning at the start of 2014. It followed on from a project set up by Mess Up The Mess Theatre Company who had commissioned a site specific production written by the playwright Bethan Marlowe for the LGBT community in Swansea, with funding from the Arts Council for Wales. A choir was set up to take part in the production 'A Queer Christmas' and Sian Pearce was invited as the Choral Director to spearhead the choir. The production was a great success, leaving behind a choir which Sian agreed to take on to become part of her music company Singers Rock, which brings choirs to various different groups within the community. Tutti (musical term for 'all') Fruity (an urban dictionary term for someone gay) Singers Rock was born, bringing a modern choir performing modern songs to the LGBT friendly community in Swansea.”

Sian Pearce said “In the short time we’ve been together we’ve
already performed twice - once for a documentary screening and then a huge gig in the Millennium Centre, Cardiff with an international touring theatre company. If these gigs are anything to go by - we are going places!” This choir is open to anyone who is LGBT friendly but mainly caters for the LGBT community itself. There are no auditions, no committees, and no fundraising - just fun singing songs that we all love (modern and ‘pink’ of course!). We'd love to have you on-board. Rehearsals every Monday: 7.30-8.30pm at the Ability Centre, Unit 2, Cwm Road, Swansea SA1 2AY. £3.50 per rehearsal attended.
