As part of the Festive Voices programme at Aviva Studios, Sing Out Music Gospel Choir performs a free festive set in the Social.

Based in Manchester and directed by Chan Evans, the choir brings together professional gospel singers, worship leaders from various Christian churches and auditioned vocalists. It delivers soul-stirring, joyful performances across the UK and beyond, from weddings and corporate events to its own Gospel Sundays series in Chester.

Its Christmas shows have previously paired gospel with Motown, so expect familiar festive songs alongside gospel standards.

Free, but booking is required.
