Every Friday in January, February and March GOSH Arts invited a different singer, group or choir to perform in the main entrance to Great Ormond Street Hospital for ‘Singing Season’.

Patients, families and staff enjoyed the weekly pop up concerts which included performances from the world famous Swingle Singers, Beat Box Collective, the London International Gospel Choir and closed with a performance from the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Staff and Parent Choir.
