An Andover choir has called on the government to let them sing after it banned them from singing together indoors a day after restrictions changed. Andover Ladies Choir was looking forward to returning to singing together in Thruxton Memorial Hall, with its membership having sung on Zoom throughout lockdown. However, on May 18, a day after lockdown rules changed in England, amateur singers were told they could only be in groups of six. “We feel like we’re being discriminated against for no reason,” said Clare Oliver, the choir’s musical director. “Football crowds can sing a chant in their thousands, but we can’t with sanitisation and temperature checks with more than six.”
