Purple Cats Sing for Women of Steel
On 9th November 2013, over 60 choir members took to the stage at Sheffield City Hall to kick off the sell-out concert that raised £50,000 towards the £150,000 needed to secure the long-awaited statue to honour the women of Sheffield who kept the steelworks running during two World Wars.
Please keep on giving to this great cause.
It was definitely a first for us to sing to 2,000 people!
Our singing is very briefly heard and seen early in this video from the Sheffield Star

Our thanks to Becki Tovey for these great images of Purple Cats in rehearsal, performing on stage, and singing in the Foyer during the interval. Plus a few of Cats enjoying the headline acts. Becki posted many more of the whole concert on her facebook.
We opened the main show in the Oval Hall with a flash mob performance of ‘Happy Together’ and ‘I Say A Little Prayer’.
We also performed in the Foyer during the interval. The songs we sang there were chosen for their relevance to the period celebrated in the event. They were ‘Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree’, 'Only Remembered' and ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’.
Our thanks to Bernard McMahon for these videos.
