GUEST ENTERTAINMENT

THE LIVERPOOL SIGNING CHOIR

The Liverpool Signing Choir (TLSC) is a visual, inclusive and diverse choir with members from all walks of life.

The priority of the choir is to promote Deaf awareness and break down any barriers that may exist by translating lyrics of songs and performing them through the beauty of sign language.

TLSC is committed to social inclusion between the many wonderful diverse communities that enhance our country regardless of culture, gender, faith or age.

In the run up to the Eurovision Song Contest, The Liverpool and Knotty Ash Signing Choirs performed popular songs through Sign Language at various landmarks, venues and town centres across the city region including the Ukrainian delegate arrival at Liverpool John Lennon Airport and The National Lottery’s Big Eurovision Welcome event at St George’s Hall.

TLSC love nothing more than entertaining in public with their unique style and thoroughly enjoyed welcoming visitors to the Liverpool City Region.
