Tadhamon Singers were formed in 2018. We are a group of women who sing in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. In 2022 we toured the West Bank and Nazareth, singing in refugee camps, cultural centres, streets and cafes, singing with Palestinians and making lasting connections.

As we travelled, Palestinians kept asking us one thing: “please share our story”.

We remain committed to supporting the struggle for justice and equality for Palestine by engaging in activism in the UK against the injustices of the Israeli Apartheid regime.    We do this through performances, song workshops, solidarity actions, small events, online talks and sharing our blog from the trip.  We were early members of the Sheffield Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid.

Our Recent Actions and Events

Tadhamon sings at Sheffield Station – 5th June 2026

The weekly Friday rallies outside Sheffield railway station are for many of us an important way to show our continuing solidarity with the people of Palestine, to keep in touch with events there, and to bond with other people who also care deeply. The most recent rally on 5th June, was particularly poignant, focusing as it did on the child victims of war and aggression. Annie O’Gara, from Sheffield Coalition against Israeli Apartheid spoke movingly about the devastating impacts of occupation, apartheid and genocide on a whole generation of Palestinian children. Approximately 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza and 39,000 have lost one or both parents. But a measure of the love and compassion of the Gazan people is the fact that 30% of families have taken in someone else’s child. And the children are not just victims, but amazingly are taking on adult responsibilities, carrying water, fetching food and doing everything they can to support their families.

Tadhamon found it especially moving this time to lead people in song on the station concourse as part of the rally. We sang Penny Stone’s song ‘The Children are Always Ours’ inspired by a 1980 quote by James Baldwin, ’The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognising this may be incapable of morality’.  New to our repertoire, ‘Call it a Genocide’, was written by Boff Whalley and the Commoners Choir. Our final song, ‘Justice for Palestine’ included new words written by Janet Wood about the horrors inflicted on Palestinian children, including the shocking story of 21-month-old toddler, Jawad Abu Nasser, who was detained and tortured by Israeli forces in March this year. 

We sing with all our hearts, and hope that our songs will touch the hearts of the people who hear us and sing with us.
