Founded in Brighton, July 2022, the Ukrainian Voices Choir brings together 17 singers aged 9 to 74, many of whom are refugees who found safety and new beginnings in the UK. United by their love of music, they share a rich repertoire of traditional and contemporary Ukrainian songs.
Since its founding, the choir has performed concerts across the South East, receiving heartfelt praise for its moving performances that transcend language and culture. Beyond music, the choir provides friendship, emotional healing, and a sense of belonging, while also celebrating Ukrainian heritage and strengthening community ties through the universal language of song. The choir is joined by members of Nebo i Zemlia choir, founded last year in Lewes, both under the Directorship of Lyudmilla Kulakova, who brings these two choirs together in strong collaborations.
Admission: £10 (Members £7)

Three Idle Women have a fondness for close harmony singing and stories that are carried through song. They take audiences on a musical journey through time. Travelling together along the waterways, they weave heritage, stories and song. The trio capture snapshots of life with humour and tenderness.
Exploring ideas of socio-geography, deepening connections to place and landscape and our relationship to nature, they reference and celebrate boaters and characters from the canals, both past and present. Having released their debut album in November 2024 they have been featured on Mark Radcliffe's radio 2 folk show, included in Fatea's winter showcase and played extensively on folk radio stations across the UK. The trio also featured in Channel 4's series Narrow Escapes in May 2025.
"Channelling the storytelling of The Unthanks and the warmth of The Staves, yet stands on its own as a heartfelt tribute to England's waterways and the people who call them home."

"If these songs don't delight you, I can only conclude that you're made either of iron or of concrete" John Barlass At the barrier
