Join **Actually Gay Men’s Chorus** on August 4 as they usher in Brighton and Hove Pride’s *Summer of Love*. Embracing the universal language of ‘love’, **Actually** will explore loves many aspects through music, from bliss to heartache, and everything in between.

The men from **Actually** shall sing with pride to celebrate fifty years since homosexuality began to be decriminalised in the UK and to send out a message of hope to those less fortunate still facing hatred and discrimination around the world.

Musical Director **Samuel Cousins** has again worked with the men of Actually Gay Men’s Chorus to develop an eclectic, powerful and thought-provoking repertoire; from Sondheim and Schwartz to Puccini and Queen!

Actually welcomes back the phenomenal vocal talent of soprano and **Actually** patroness **Samantha Howard** and (back by popular demand!) glamorous and talented cabaret star **Kara Van Park** who returns to host her first summer outing with the chorus. **Love Actually** promises to be a truly spectacular concert, and what better way to enter into the spirit of Pride!

Actually Gay Men’s Chorus will be performing to raise funds for its members’ chosen charities: *Inclusion for All* and *The Rainbow Fund*.

Actually Gay Men’s Chorus, now in its twelfth season, was set up with the specific aim of providing a place where gay men can socialise, have fun and develop social skills in a unique environment. Since its creation, Actually has helped raise thousands of pounds for local causes.
