About the Games Maker Choir

We are “The Choir For Sport” whose members are all sporting volunteers!

Our name, ‘The Games Maker Choir’ reflects that most members originally volunteered as “Games Makers” at the Olympic and/or Paralympic Games of London 2012 – and at subsequent Olympic or Paralympic Games.

To paraphrase Elbow’s song “One Day Like This”, a few years ago the decision was made to ‘throw those curtains wide’ and open the joining criteria to more singers – to include those who have volunteered at a wide range of other key headline international events including hockey, football, rugby, athletics, cricket and more. 

Recently, the choir opened its doors to ALL sporting volunteers, including those from ‘grassroots’ sports: such as local and regional clubs and organisations and ALL sporting events.

So, if you volunteer your time and skills to sport, from making the tea or marshalling for local community sports clubs or the weekly local Parkrun, or contributing to the success of international tournaments – and you love to sing – get in touch and we’ll be happy to tell you more about this unique choir!

The choir has great fun, works hard, and has an ever growing repertoire, with inspiring teachers and clever singing aides to help you along the way, so don’t be shy about getting in touch.

We generally rehearse together on the first Saturday each month – in South London- a short walk or bus ride from Clapham Junction railway station, with members happily travelling from all over the country.

These monthly rehearsals are sometimes supplemented by extra ‘regional’ or ‘sectional’ rehearsals prior to any live performances. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the choir continued to rehearse together online, and supported each other as one big family in many ways. An unexpected bonus from this has been the development of more technical facilities now available to help with more individual ‘homework’ rehearsals.

We have performed at some iconic venues including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Tower of London, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, The Landmark Hotel, London in support of the Mariposa Trust; as well as at many of the major sporting stadia such as Wembley and Twickenham. And we marked our Tenth Anniversary in London with a celebratory concert in October 2022,

In the last couple of years so far, we have sung at: the Brighton and London Marathons and at Alexandra Park Bandstand, Windsor, Regent’s Park Bandstand, London and outside London’s historic Guildhall in support of the runners at the London Landmark’s Half Marathon.
