Voices of Virtue Bring 100% Soul Xmas Show to Wylam

Voices of Virtue Wylam Brewery puts a North East choir centre stage

Voices of Virtue started in Newcastle upon Tyne and has grown from a small vocal project into one of the North East’s leading gospel choirs. The group now works with a 14-strong choir and band, using gospel music as a route into soul, collaboration and live performance across the region and beyond.

Voices of Virtue began in Newcastle and has developed into a 14-strong choir and band, so this Wylam date is a genuine home-region show rather than a touring package passing through. That local connection gives the Christmas special more weight, particularly in a venue where the choir has already built a returning audience.

The 100% Soul format moves beyond a straight gospel concert. The set is built around upbeat Motown and soul material, with Christmas songs folded into the programme for the December date. That combination should suit the Palace of Arts well, because the room can hold the scale of a full choir without making the performance feel overly formal.

Voices of Virtue’s own story is rooted in broadening the soundscape of the North East through gospel music. The choir has also collaborated widely and performed across public events, cultural projects and major regional stages, so the Wylam show sits inside a much bigger local presence rather than operating as a one-off festive booking.

The standing layout also changes the feel of the night. Gospel and soul material depends heavily on audience response, rhythm and collective energy, and the Palace of Arts gives the choir room to turn that into something closer to a celebration than a recital.

Voices of Virtue Gospel Choir bring the 100% Soul Xmas Special to Wylam Brewery on Monday 14 December 2026. Doors are at 7pm and the event is 18+.
