It was over a bottomless brunch that Silv announced to a friend she was keen to start her own choir. Fast forward a few months and a £20 TikTok ad, she had hundreds of requests to join. Now she runs the mothership — AKA a suite of nine singing, dancing choirs based in London, Manchester and Sheffield — with Molly Moran, who she reports falling in ‘musical love at first sight’ while studying at the University of York.

Molly adds: “We’ve been part of lots of choirs, we’ve run other choirs. I think that what The Groove Chorus offers is a space that we have never seen before, on top of the great thing that is being in a choir.

“Like doing the best tunes in the world — tunes that hardly any other choirs would touch with a bargepole. Getting a resident pole dancer at our gigs, and collab-ing with drag performers. Making a choir gig that’s night out energy.” And for those wondering why we wear double denim? Voted for by members during a late-night poll, with ‘Cat Slater animal print realness’ a close second.

Molly continues: “It’s hard to meet new people, so I love the fact that when we get a new group together, they already have two things in common: they’ve both joined a choir, and they probably like the same music, or at least have similar tastes.”

Silv adds: “If I could tell 20-year-old me that Mol and I would be running this business together, writing camp pop hits for choirs, then I’d say I hit the jackpot. It feels like it’s been 30 years, in the most gorgeous way.” And there’s a lot more the pair want the choirs to achieve yet. Having already taken the stage at Mighty Hoopla Festival earlier this summer, they’re keen for a collab with Cascada, a mega choir takeover at the Royal Albert Hall and a Groove HQ, fitted with a recording studio and a karaoke stage.

My dream? Perhaps to pull my alto sax out of retirement for a solo. Stay tuned.
