Congregation by IO Performance

A mass singalong in a deconsecrated architectural gem.

Lose yourself in the power of song at Congregation, a large-scale sing-along like no other. Run by IO Performance, this electrifying event transforms a deconsecrated church into a vibrant performance space, where everyone becomes part of the choir—no singing experience required.

"Everyone is a participant in this sing-along. Of course, you don't have to sing if you don't want to—you can be there and just vibe with it" says IO Performance co-artistic director Grace Roberts.

Throughout the evening, the crowd will be taught well-known songs under the guidance of vocal coaches Travis Hennessy and Jade Howard, backed by a live band, Havana Affair. "At the end of the night, we actually sing them—it's an incredible feeling to be surrounded by that energy" Roberts explains.

With a bar on-site and the entire space filled with soaring harmonies, Congregation is more than just a pub choir—it's a shared musical experience that brings people together.

"You don't need to know how to sing, you can just come along and be absorbed in the mass choir" says Roberts. "It's a real communal event for everyone to come along, have a drink, and have a sing."
