Eurovision star Sonia delivers stirring message after uniting with refugee choir in Liverpool

Eurovision superstar Sonia saluted the uniting power of music as she joined a refugee choir for a rendition of her 1989 UK No.1 hit, You’ll Never Stop Me Loving You.

The Liverpool singer, who was runner-up at Eurovision in Ireland in 1993, has joined forces with the National Lottery funded European Youth Music Refugee Choir (EYMRC) as part of the celebrations leading up Liverpool hosting Eurovision 2023 on May 13.

Following rehearsals at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool a week ago, over 50 young refugees and asylum seekers from countries including Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Syria have been brought together to perform alongside Sonia at the National Lottery-funded Everyman Theatre on the aptly-named Hope Street in the city today.
