Back on June 5, 2025 my friend Coolia sent me pictures of a pub crawl she participated in at The Bellwether in Los Angeles, which she describes as “a newish downtown venue” that “fits 1,500 but maybe 1,000 were there.”

It was part of a Pub Choir across the USA event.

Here are the pics she snapped and sent me:

It’s an interesting big-choir arrangement and what a cross-section of faces too. These aren’t all gay men! The video shows how happy the song makes people and what a joyful song it is.  Good job arranging and conducting Astrid Jorgensen.

People actually buy tickets to do this. Here is the final result. No Autotune added.

Here is just the New York City choir singing in Webster Hall.

In 2019, the Canadian group Choir! Choir! Choir! also did “Believe.”

In 2023 the Pub Choir did “Turn Back Time” in Sydney, Australia, dividing the boys and girls.

These are fun to watch.
