The National Street Choir Festival is heading to the south-east for the first time in its 26-year history. Over twenty-five choirs will be joining us over the weekend of 11th-13th July 2008 to share their songs with the people of Brighton and Hove and take in the unique style of this vibrant city. The festival, to be known as ChoirFest 2008, is being hosted by Brighton a cappella favourites Hullabaloo and is supported by the Mayor of the City of Brighton and Hove.

The National Street Choir Festival is an annual weekend of song, organized each year by choirs in different towns and cities, that aims to create a connection and sense of community between choirs nationwide. The festival began twenty-six years ago in the north as part of the political protest song movement and has since expanded to include community choirs of all types with the aim of encouraging more people to use song - collectively, publicly and powerfully - as a contribution to progressive change.
