πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ "Find out who you are, and do it on purpose," said Dolly Parton. A staunch and outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community and someone who continues to inspire musicians around the world.

Many of us are feeling terribly sad, following the news of her death at the age of 80. Her songs bring back so many memories, including our rendition of 9 to 5, which we performed outside a performance of the stage musical in Manchester back in 2013. This clip is from our performance at the 2014 Various Voices Choir Festival. We hope you enjoy it x
