The Phoenix Singers, Leek
The Queen's Shoulders
In 1964 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II sat for Staffordshire artist Arnold Machin, as he modelled a clay cameo for British coins and stamps.
However, Machin only sculpted the Queen's Head, and the Palace decided it needed something extra - shoulders!
On this 70th Jubilee weekend, the Phoenix Singers and Claybody Theatre bring you the true story behind those famous shoulders in words and music.
You'll never look at a stamp in the same way again.
Saturday 4th of June 7 p.m.
Trinity Church Derby Street, Leek ST13 5AW
Sunday 5th of June 7 p.m.
All Saints Church, Leek Road, Joiners Square, Hanley ST1 3HU

Who are Phoenix Singers Leek?
Click here to learn about our "Come & Sing" day!
The Phoenix Singers adopted its name in 1985, when the choir was re-born from the ashes of the former Leek High School Choir. Since then the choir has developed a varied repertoire, performing major choral works, small-scale pieces and contemporary music. It draws its membership from all parts of the Staffordshire Moorlands and beyond. A registered charity (no.1085474), it is a genuine community choir in that it welcomes anyone who enjoys singing. There are no auditions.
Visit us anytime!
All our rehearsals are open to the public and to potential new members, so why not pay us a visit.
We rehearse every Monday evening at 7:30pm, at Leek First School, East Street, Leek ST13 6LF.
