Our residency at Pizza Express Jazz Club continues next with a lunchtime show next Sunday 24th April. We’ll be presenting a selection of groove classics alongside arrangements of our favourite singer-songwriters, old and new.

We’re also just off the back of a very special recording session which we did at the start of the month. This project hasn’t been officially announced yet, but we’re confident that it’s going to be very special indeed. We can’t say what it is yet – but we might throw in one number from it on this Sunday’s gig as a teaser….

LVP’s residency at Pizza Express Jazz Club picks up again on February 27th lunchtime. The last gigs in December sold out very quickly, so don’t delay getting hold of tickets for this one:

Last Sunday’s gig was a joy! It was special to have our first LVP gig in two years – new with new members in the choir, old friends in the audience, the please of playing again with Andres Ticino on percussion, and Pete Churchill doing his usual wonderful thing.

This marks the beginning of our (much delayed) residency at Pizza Express Soho. More dates to be announced soon…

London Vocal Project have just released a new video – our rendition of James Taylor’s ‘Walking Man’, from our James Taylor Songbook project.

We were delighted and honoured that James Taylor’s representatives, who’ve been following what we’re up to, offered to premiere it on his official Instagram channel! You can watch it here:

It’ll also shortly be released on LVP’s own social media pages. Our YouTube channel is here:

This video was previously uploaded to our Patreon channel, a new venture where we’ll be sharing exclusive videos, clips and other content:

This is going to LVP’s first gig in almost two years!

We last performed at Pizza Express Jazz Club at the end of 2019. That was supposed to be the start of a new residency, but obviously those plans were derailed rather. So we’re very excited finally to be returning on Saturday 5th December – playing both a lunchtime and an evening show. We’ll be featuring music from our James Taylor Songbook project, as well as new arrangements which we worked on remotely during lockdowns, plus some of our unique LVP Christmas settings.

It’s a little way off, but this is likely to sell out very quickly, so don’t delay!

A fun LVP Christmas track to end the year with. On contrast to the epic undertaking of the last video, this one was put together in just a few days, recorded from home and speedily edited by Brendan Dowse. Hope it brings you some Christmas cheer.

Next Monday, 21st December, London Vocal Project are hosting a Christmas live stream event. We’ll be playing videos from past live performances of our Christmas repertoire, interspersed with live chat amongst members of the choir. It should be fun and festive!

Here’s a brand new video from London Vocal Project, of which we’re really proud. The music is Pete Churchill’s reinvention of the classic carol ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’, given new meaning for modern times, and is a song of struggle, freedom and hope. As such, we decided to launch it today, which is United Nations Human Rights Day. We’re also asking people to donate to our Amnesty International fundraiser here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/london-vocal-project

The track features LVP soloists Hannah Berry and Ayesha Pike, as well as instrumental contributions from friends across the London scene. This project grew and grew, so we now have a rhythms section (including fantastic guitarist Femi Temowo), horn section, and huge string section. This was a massive undertaking! All the parts were recorded remotely from home during lockdown, and then put together by Brendan Dowse (audio) and Ivan Teage (video), all overseen by Katie Teage (producer). We’re delighted with the outcome and happy to be sharing it at this time.

I’ve been singing this song with LVP for more than a decade, and still find it capable of being moving, inspiring, and bringing solace. Hopefully this video will do the same for others.
