Choir's coronation performance fit for a King | News

The C&I choir delighted service users and staff alike with performances at Chase Farm Hospital and Highgate Mental Health Centre to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.

The choir, made up of staff, governors, service users, and local residents of Camden and Islington played five sets on five wards across the two days, sprinkling a little bit of sunshine on the day.

The twelve-piece include a keyboardist, guitarist, two drummers, and a range of vocalists, performing sets including Bring Me Sunshine, Here Comes The Sun, I Can See Clearly Now, Something Inside So Strong, You Can Get It If You Really Want, With A Little Help From My Friends, and Don’t Stop Me Now.

Staff and Service Users alike were very grateful to the choir for coming along to perform and a few even got involved with backing vocals.

Special thanks to Nandini, Patrick, and Joe at Highgate for their assistance at Highgate. Thanks also to Stephen Godfrey, Interim Enfield MHSOP Service Lead, for his support at Chase Farm, as well as ward managers Rahma, Edna, and Fred for their help on the day.
