More than 100 members of a social singing choir were invited along to Holmfirth Picturedrome last Friday to stage a surprise 'flashmob' by Britpop favourites Dodgy.

So Choir! short for Social Choir is an informal and inclusive singing group that meets up each week in bars and workplaces in Leeds, Wakefield and other Yorkshire cities..

The invitation to the Picturedrome, one of the closing dates on Dodgy's 25th Anniversary Homegrown Tour, came about when the leader of So Choir!, Nic Slack was contacted by the band after they'd heard the choir's version of their hit single Staying Out For the Summer on YouTube.

On Friday, the plan was that just before Dodgy took to the stage, the choir would burst into Staying Out For the Summer in three-part harmony from within the audience, taking everyone around them completely by surprise. Everything went exactly to plan.
