Your friendly neighbourhood community musical theatre company
Two years since we last sang in Osterley Park on the August Bank Holiday, we’re coming back!
Come and hear us sing in the Stables Courtyard (where the café and shop are) on Monday, 30 August at 12.30 and again at 2pm.
We’ll be singing a summery selection of songs including ‘Blue Skies’, vintage pop numbers by Neil Diamond, a medley from the film ‘La La Land’ and a preview of some numbers from our forthcoming ‘Roaring Twenties’ concert.
We have a new date for our Mikado from Scratch – Saturday 20 November. Come and enjoy a day with us, learning and singing one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular musical shows.
Put the date in your diary now – more details coming soon!
At long last, we’re back rehearsing in person.
You can find us on Monday nights between 8pm and 10pm at St Stephen’s Church, Parkside Road, Hounslow TW3 2BP. We’re currently in the church, not the hall.
We’re still observing some Covid precautions. We’re asking everyone to sign in, use the hand sanitizer provided and wear a mask when not singing.
We’re currently refreshing the music we learned last year for the ‘Roaring Twenties’ concert, now scheduled for 15-16 October. We’re also learning a medley from the film ‘La La Land’.
Like to join us? Contact us, or come along on a Monday night.
We promised it would be back – and it is! Join us for an evening of fabulous music recalling the decade that brought us flappers and jazzers, talkies and speakeasies, the Charleston and the Black Bottom. Musical numbers include ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ ‘Blue Skies’ and ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’, along with selections from the musicals ‘Chicago’ ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ and ‘The Boy Friend’.
Venues and tickets to be announced. Watch this space …
Get your festive season off to a jolly start with a selection of winter-themed songs including ‘Sleigh Ride’, ‘Fairytale of New York’ and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’.
Imagine Gilbert suing Sullivan for greater recognition of his contribution to the success of the Savoy Operas.
Now imagine these court proceedings taking place in the afterlife, in a ‘Utopian’ court, with both sides aided and abetted by characters from the Savoy Operas.
That’s the premise of ‘Trial By Music’, an original Gilbert and Sullivan revue featuring a marvellous miscellany of music from the Savoy Operas and concluding with a full performance of ‘Trial by Jury’. Originally produced by Wesley Henderson-Roe for Thousand Days Productions at Hampton Hill several years ago, this will be its first revival.
We’ll be looking for a whole range of people to be involved including principals, chorus and Balconeers (who sit in the side balconies and sing the chorus numbers).

Sadly we’ve had to postpone our proposed Mikado from Scratch, originally scheduled for Saturday 10 July, following the government announcement that the Covid restrictions aren’t being lifted yet.
But we hope to have a new date soon!
To go with our new name HLO Musical Company, we’ve got a brand new look – with a new website, logo and branding.
