No Rock And Roll Fun

WE ONLY HOPE TWO HUNDRED BOYS AT THE BACK DON'T SPOIL IT BY SINGING RUDE WORDS: Liverpool is apparently looking to recruit 2003 singers to form a huge choir to open the soon-coming Beatles Festival. Apparently, the aim is - officially - to "to form an outstanding choir of unaccompanied voices. We want to bring together 2003 people aged from 11 to more than 60, and from all different economic and cultural backgrounds to form the biggest ever socially inclusive choir the city has ever seen." This kind of implies that there have been bigger choirs in Liverpool, only they would all have been white, middle-class males, we suppose. We wonder how we've managed to miss them going about their business.
