We're back!
After 18 months of being isolated but together as Do Your Thing virtual choir, Do Your Thing is proud to be back doing our thing once again loud and proud in the room!
All choir members from our community choirs based in Ashton-under-Lyne and Stockport as well as our kids choir in Heaton Moor are delighted to be back doing what we love best – singing great songs with great people!
The 1st of November 2021 was a huge milestone for the choir when DYT not only celebrated 10 years as a choir but also celebrated the virtual choir’s incredible achievement of raising over £10K for charity with their music videos.
The community choir has performed at well over 100 events over the past decade and a host of performers, radio presenters, event organisers, choral directors and representatives of charities the choir has supported lined up to send birthday wishes.
With the diary filling up, the choir that Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket described as “needing to be available on prescription” is looking forward to spreading some magic once again at local events and festivals. Watch this space!
The last decade provided choir members with opportunities no one could have dreamt of, from performing on major theatre stages and singing live on radio and TV to flash mobs and starring in their own music videos. Whatever the future holds, DYT are looking forward to embracing the challenge and doing their thing in style.
“If you like to sing, this is where it’s at!”

Do Your Thing
The choir where everyone is welcome: no experience necessary, no auditions, no need to be able to read music! Come along and have fun!
A year ago in lockdown, Do Your Thing created this video to mark the one year anniversary since the start of lockdown! Two years after the date that is now a life changing moment in our history I thought I’d share it again. It captures every colour of lockdown, brings back the highs (and the lows) and I hope brings a smile on this anniversary. Please feel free to share. Enjoy! ![]()
