Following our last hugely enjoyable 'Trial by Jury' Bring and Sing we’re inviting everyone to join us again for G&S’s rollicking ‘The Pirates of Penzance’! There will be tea, coffee and lots of cake, and if you want to dress up as a Pirate to add to the fun please do! If you are interested in being considered for a named part, contact us at info@pbgs.org. There will be no separate rehearsals for principals so preferably you will already know the role well!

What a year 2025 has been!


We at PBGS wish all our members and followers a very Happy New Year! 
 
April 2026 will see our next show, Gilbert & Sullivan's 'Patience', but 2025 has also been quite the G&S year. 
 
In April/May we put on 'Ruddigore' and in October we followed it up with our Scottish 'The McAdo'. To promote it we dressed up and took to the streets of Hitchin along with some splendid bagpipe playing! We also attended the NODA East District 3 awards with several nominations for 'Ruddigore' and our 2024 'Me and My Girl', with a win for Jessica Hallett as our Mad Margaret. Between our two 2025 shows we managed to wedge in a highly entertaining 'Trial by Jury' Anniversary Bring and Sing in Pirton, preceding that with excerpts from 'Ruddigore' on the same morning in Hitchin Town Square to celebrate World Piano day! We were also singing excerpts from 'Ruddigore' in Harlington in February in our second joint concert with Beati Vocal Ensemble. But our biggest news has been attaining Registered Charity status thanks to some extremely hard work behind the scenes. Around all of this, of course, there have been weekly rehearsals. It's been a great PBGS year and we look forward to sharing more music and laughter with you all in 2026.
