Couch Choir

Astrid, who is the founder and director of Pub Choir, said it's now become Couch Choir because of lockdowns.

"Where we used to gather in the thousands in a nice sweaty venue and all sing a happy song together. Obviously, that can't happen at the moment, so we moved online," she said.

"Regular people are invited to come together and sing their hearts out … and then we edit you back together into a virtual choir."
