The acoustics of the Courtyard provided an extra musical dimension to our performance.

During 2004 our membership continued to grow. In July, with a number of other Choirs from around the region, including the Deep C Divas, Rainbow Voices, and hosted by Leeds' own Gay Abandon, we took part in a festival of Gay Choral music, "Out Tonight", at the Leeds College of Music.

In August we again performed at Manchester Pride - this time on the main stage, over the weekend, as well as in Sackville Park, for the Candlelit Vigil, where we also performed in December for World Aids Day.
