Dinner at The Ned

12 Jun 2019 by petrinachristine

The Ned is a Hotel in the City of London and a short walk from Bank Station. They have nine restaurants, a rooftop pool, a gym, spa and hammam. Gareth Malone was putting a flash mob together for the reopening of The Ned with different choirs around London and my choir (Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir) was included. I’ve never participated in a flash mob before so was excited but didn’t know what to expect. The flashmob was a success […]

Waitress The Musical and Ping Pong Restaurant

22 May 2019 by petrinachristine

Hazel found some cheap tickets online for Waitress The Musical and we couldn’t turn them done. I love going to the theatre and watching a good show. The musical was showing at the Adelphi Theatre on the Strand just a small walk from London Charing Cross Train Station. I heard good reviews and it was a show I wanted to see. We decided to make an evening of it so Hazel booked Ping Pong Restaurant for Dim Sum. The restaurant […]

Christmas Carols on Top of the O2

19 Dec 2018 by petrinachristine

When the Choir was asked to sing on top of the O2, I couldn’t say no. I’ve always wanted to take part in Up at The O2 but never got around to doing it. The Choir was asked to participate in an event called Twelve Choirs of Christmas at The O2. Our event took place on Sunday 16th December and the event will continue to take place with other choirs between Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd December. Choirs from all […]

I saw a few familiar faces; Binky from Made in Chelsea, Chloe and Joey Essex from TOWIE and Myleene Klass. After the red carpet we got directed […]

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir

9 Feb 2018 by petrinachristine

I’m sitting in the canteen with my colleagues minding my own business when I get approached by a pleasant young lady. “Do you sing by any chance?”. My response is “Yes”. From a young age I’ve loved singing and went to various Performing Arts School which gave me the opportunity to perform at the London Palladium and attend events like The Brit Awards. Long story short, Charlotte the young lady asked if I could sing on camera for a minute […]

The Mayor’s Christmas Carols 🎄

18 Dec 2017 by petrinachristine

The Choir were asked to perform at the Mayor’s Christmas Carols today but I didn’t realise how big of an event it would be. The choir sang Behold that Star and Bridge Over You (Christmas Number 1 2015). The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan attended and gave a speech about sticking together as a city and not being afraid after so much tragedy has occurred in London this year. He comes across as a nice guy and was very friendly. The […]
