About the speaker
The Chelsea Pensioner Singers formed 11 years ago as an activity in the Infirmary at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The group has gone from strength to strength and is now in demand throughout the year. The group had the immense privilege to perform with Alfie Boe at the 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and recently co-wrote and recorded a song with the Voices of Armed Forces Children’s Choir which is soon to be released. They’re looking forward to bringing back their unique musical talents to the Chelsea History Festival.
