Eurovision fans wowed by impromptu choir performance on way into Liverpool

Eurovision fans were serenaded by a choir on Merseyrail trains and around the city.

The Proud Marys are an LGBT+ choir from Chester, and they wowed Merseyrail passengers with renditions of pop classics on different services around the city and region yesterday.

In one clip, shared by TV presenter Fernand who was on board the Liverpool-bound train, the choir can be heard belting out a great version of You To Me Are Everything, by Liverpool's own The Real Thing. The group were making their way into the city from Chester at the time.

The Real Thing performed their 70s soul classic as Eurovision officially got underway with a huge concert at St George's Hall on Sunday.

Posting the video, Fernand said: "Talk about warm welcome to the city - big ups to @MarysProud delighting the carriage. Spot rehearsal or impromptu sing song - a pleasant surprise for those on the 12.15 from Chester to Liverpool."

The Proud Marys have been spreading love and cheer all over the Merseyrail network in recent days. Another clip, posted by the choir's musical director shows them singing Abba's Take a Chance while travelling under the Mersey on a train between Liverpool and Wirral.

The group were also filmed singing a medley of pop hits from Steps and Spice Girls at Lime Street Station.
