The Vision
Abreast The M62 is an exciting, creative and collaborative event with singers coming together to support 5 charities in Hull, Leeds, Huddersfield and Liverpool. Together we are raising awarenesss about preventing breast cancer, supporting and caring for those experiencing breast cancer both directly and indirectly, raising money to support the charities we are working with, and bringing a strong message about how much we can do ‘Together’.
The idea was conceived by Honley Ladies Choir in Huddersfield as we know the powerful communication of music, and have experienced the effect in coming together to sing with a unified purpose bringing encouragement, healing and support. Abreast the M62 is an ambitious but exciting event using music to bring communities together along our unique and important landmark, and to join in the work of Hull and East Riding Breast Friends, Maggies Yorkshire, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust Breast Care Team, Prevent Breast Cancer, and Maggies Wirral.
Our Big Booby Dooby Event!
Thursday 2nd October 2025 The Big Booby Dooby Launch at Cedar Court Huddersfield Hotel
​​
Saturday 4th October 2025 The Big Booby Dooby Trail Honley Ladies Choir travelled the length of the M62, east to west, calling in at Hull, Leeds, and Liverpool to perform a Big Booby Dooby Sing in each venue. At each Booby Dooby Sing we performed a brand new song ‘Together’, written by Richard Sykes, which has a key theme of supporting and encouraging people experiencing breast cancer and their families. We also sang a humorous song, written by Richard Sykes and Angela Fitzpatrick, about checking for signs of breast changes, and compilations of contemporary well known songs in the cities we visited.
