Hello everyone. Argent Choir calling.

In our choir, we’ve been learning a song which has become potently relevant over the past few weeks as this new (albeit temporary) way of living sets in. To remind us that it is indeed temporary, here is our version of ‘Freedom Is Coming’.

The choir and even some of their relatives have been incredibly brave to record themselves on their own to allow the choirmaster to pull them all back together again, electronically.

Freedom IS coming.

Yours sonorously,
Argent Choir
