Forty years on, Bronski Beat’s defiant debut album, The Age of Consent, is reimagined by queer and trans artists of today at a one-off concert. And just like the original, The Pink Singers will be there to provide backing singers.
Tonight’s show features a powerhouse line-up including Luca Manning, Planningtorock, Tom Rasmussen plus more to be announced, alongside a specially curated queer house band, performing bold new arrangements of the record.
An unashamed portrait of radical queerness in 1980s Britain, The Age of Consent was a pivotal moment in LGBTQIA+ cultural history.
Jimmy Somerville, Steve Bronski and Larry Steinbachek took the charts by storm with era-defining hits ‘Smalltown Boy’ and ‘Why’, and their new brand of bold, political synth-pop.Under Thatcher’s repressive Conservative government, against the backdrop of the miners’ strike and the early onset of the AIDS crisis, this music acted as a beacon of hope for a generation of disenfranchised LGBTQIA+ youth.
When recording the album, Bronski Beat needed some backing vocals and reached out to the newly-formed Pink Singers. We are thrilled to be asked to play a role in celebrating the legacy and ongoing message of this seminal album four decades later.
For one night only, The Chateau presents this piece of musical and political history from 1980s Britain, live and reimagined through the voices of ground-breaking queer and trans contemporary artists.
A musical celebration, and a collective call to action for the work still to be done in the fight for queer and trans liberation. Plus, join us for a free after-party in the Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer following the event in the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
With current anti-trans legislation and rhetoric in the press, and the ongoing battle to ban conversion therapy, the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights continues. Against this backdrop, The Age of Consent is presented 40 years on, with its message still more relevant than ever.
Luca Manning is an artist who embraces sound as an embodied force, rooted in her fascination for the voice as a vehicle for expression. She has opened for artists Jools Holland, Holysseus Fly and Tom Rasmussen, and has performed in jazz clubs including Ronnie Scott’s as well as queer spaces.
Tallinn-based singer-songwriter, composer, producer, DJ and director Planningtorock has spent over a decade queering sound and sharing visions. They have four critically acclaimed studio albums of queer dance to their name, and have collaborated with artists including Lady Gaga, Robyn, Christine and the Queens and Romy.
Tom Rasmussen is a London-based artist and prominent figure in the LGBTQIA+ community, known for their dark dance music that blends pop, queer club culture, and their experiences as a former drag performer. Their debut album, Body Building, was released in 2023 to critical acclaim.
Standard entry from £25.00 (plus £3.50 booking fee) Early Show: Doors 6pm / Show 6.30pm Late Show: Doors 9pm / Show 9.30pm Afterparty: 11pm – 1am in QEH Foyer (free entry to ticket holders)

Join us for “The Pink Singers: All Our Love”: 7.30pm Saturday 20th January 2024 at The Cadogan Hall, 5 Sloane Terrace, London SW1X 9DQ.
There is nothing more suitable than celebrating The Pink Singers’ 40-year anniversary with the theme of love.
In ‘All Our Love’, Europe’s longest-running LGBT+ choir will be sharing the love through music. In our remarkable journey, we have witnessed changes for the LGBTQ+ community not just in the United Kingdom but also in all the places we have been to sing and march with friends around the world. To get to where we are now, love has always been with us.
The concert will feature a diverse range of songs – tailor-made with full eight-part harmonies and some of them our very own arrangements – with music from artists such as Billy Porter, The Proclaimers, Mary Lambert, Gabriels, Eric Carmen, Sergei Rachmaninov, Daði Freyr and Kylie Minogue. Alongside these home-grown arrangements, we will also perform commissioned works by the likes of John Lennon, Jocelyn Hagen, Carter Datz, The Cranberries, Nat King Cole, and more.
And to celebrate this special anniversary, The Pink Singers will premiere Homemade Musical Hope Machine which draws on our history, culture and heritage. The piece was created on an entirely voluntary basis by members of the choir. It shows so much of our love.
We will share the stage with our fabulous friends, Voces Gaudii choir, who come all the way from Warsaw. In the summer of 2022, The Pink Singers visited them in Poland, blending voices in a joint performance at Kino Elektronik and marching together in the Warsaw Equality and Kyiv Pride Parade. We are now so excited for them to visit and sing with us in London!
Join The Pink Singers to be filled with the love and joy of music. We promise there will be a lot of sparkle!
Tickets start at £10. Don’t forget, you can secure a VIP ticket including a free glass of champagne, cake and concert programme from £45. Try to book in advance – this concert is likely to sell out!
