Singing in Brighton and Hove isn’t limited to karaoke nights as there are a surprising number of choirs around town. Some are more serious than others while some are more casual affairs. Their repertoires range from classical and jazz to pop and rock. They can also usually be found hanging around Christmas and summer fetes.
