Chicago legend Kym Sims and Music House Gospel Choir set to ignite Leeds’ 5 O’Clock Club
Paying homage to Leeds’ vibrant dance music history, The 5 O’Clock Club is bringing together an incredible combination for a one-off performance this week.
Prepare for a soul-stirring collision of club culture and gospel power as Leeds’ most talked-about daytime party, The 5 O’Clock Club, prepares for its most ambitious event to date.
This weekend, the city will witness a rare collaboration as Chicago house royalty Kym Sims joins forces with the Music House Gospel Choir for a one-off performance at Victoria Gate Casino, in an event that promises to bridge the gap between the birthplaces of house music and the vibrant Leeds scene.
Organisers are calling the event an emotional, high-energy celebration of dance music’s roots.
The afternoon's centrepiece features the acclaimed 20-strong Music House Gospel Choir. Part of the Leeds-based music charity Music House, the choir will deliver a specially curated set of house anthems reimagined through soaring gospel vocals.
The energy will reach fever pitch as they are joined on stage by Kym Sims - best known for her early 90s global smash ‘Too Blind To See It,’ Sims remains a defining voice in vocal house.
This exclusive collaboration marks a rare opportunity to see a genuine Chicago icon perform alongside local talent in the heart of Leeds.
Founded by DJ and promoter Curtis Zack, The 5 O’Clock Club has rapidly become Yorkshire’s premier premium daytime clubbing experience. Speaking on the upcoming collaboration, Zack noted: “This is exactly what The 5 O’Clock Club is about – creating moments people won’t experience anywhere else.
“To bring together Leeds’ incredible Music House Gospel Choir with a genuine Chicago house legend like Kym Sims is something really special. It’s a celebration of house music’s roots, its soul, and the community it continues to inspire.”
