Actress and West End star Claire Sweeney will be appearing with the Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus at their Pull A Cracker Christmas show at the Brighton Dome tonight, December 7.
Claire Sweeney, originally known for her TV role as Lindsey in Brookside, has had a long and varied stage career, playing some of the most coveted roles in the West End including Roxie Hart in Chicago and appearing in the first series of Celebrity Big Brother. She will be joining the chorus in their 3rd year at the Brighton Dome raising money for the Sussex Beacon.
Claire said: “Having heard so much about them, I’m absolutely thrilled to have been asked by the boys at Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus to join in the fun at their Christmas Special in the fabulous Brighton Dome on December 7th. I’m equally delighted that we will also be raising funds for such a fantastic charity as the Sussex Beacon, which does so much good work for people living with HIV and AIDS”
This year, Pull A Cracker: The Christmas Special, has a nostalgic theme associated with classic Christmas Special TV shows that have glued us to our screens over the years and will include classic favourites such as It’s Raining Men, The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year and a rather camp Christmas medley!
Paul Charlton is the chairman of the 85 strong choir for gay and gay friendly men.
He said: “With the help of our fans, we have been able to raise in excess of £5000 for our friends at the Sussex Beacon at each of our previous Dome shows. We are hoping to at least match the same amount at this years show and every ticket we sell will add to the total amount raised. So please come along an join in the fun!”
2013 has been a big year for the Chorus. They won having the Manchester Amateur Choral Competition in February and were awarded a coveted Golden Handbag after being voted by the local community as Brighton and Hove’s Favourite LGBT Social/ Leisure Organisation in June.
