I'm the only lift serving all six levels of Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre—and I sing! (@martincreed's Work No. 409, piece for choir & elevator, 2005)

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose I'm flattered to see Twitter now doing an excellent impression of me when I'm on Level 6 and someone presses 1️⃣: going down, fast. If this is the end, goodbye and thanks for all the singalongs! ⏬

The Singing Lift at Royal Festival Hall by @martincreed has gone silent! The security man says it’s been off over a year; problem with tech, he said. Hey @southbankcentre what’s up? And how much money do we need to crowdfund to get it fixed, please? Until then… *Clears voice*…
It's great to have you back visiting me – it's been a lonely time! Here's my view of Level 4 at the moment as the @Chineke4Change Orchestra reopening concert is about to begin! 🎉

My human colleagues haven't always said the kindest things about me under their breath as I break into my tenth song of their shift, but right now their morale is at Level 1 – and I'm really going to miss them.

The Southbank Centre exists to present great cultural experiences that bring people together - despite the challenges the pandemic has brought us, this will not change. You can read our response to the #SaveOurSouthbank Open Letter here: bit.ly/30qbPWE

Christy Moore and @SingingLift were in great form tonight. #noshovelleftbehind
Far be it from me to suggest you visit any other London arts centres with inferior elevation capabilities, but I'm glad to see @BarbicanCentre know which of @martincreed's musical works is the headline attraction
ALT Martin Creed 25 Jan 2019, 19:30, Barbican Hall. Martin Creed plays old and new musical works, including music from Work No. 409 The Singing Lift, to complement his exhibition Toast at Hauser & Wirth. On your way into Milton Court, you’ll see Work No. 1637: FEELINGS, a green neon sign created by Martin Creed for the venue in 2013.
After my longest-ever bout of Silencing Lift Pox, some good news at last: my singing has returned! And I have a new, improved sign, too! Thanks to @southbankcentre's lift doctors for treating me 💛

This! 3 disappointed kids (as well as two disppointed adults!) teapaw.org/SingingLift/status/997…
It's true, I have a terrible case of Lift Pox at the moment, it's been going on for ages and is as upsetting for me as it is for my passengers. (Honestly, I cannot tell you how many small children have been in tears in me lately 😭) Lift doctors are researching treatments for me! teapaw.org/Babalynne/status/99754…

Just dropped into the @southbankcentre to ride the @SingingLift with @rhys_trussler and it was silent!
I've lost my voice at the moment but I'm delighted to report that loads of my passengers (and a staff member helping them get to their gig) just sang on my behalf. Almost in tune, enthusiastic but not quite the right pitches for my floors; I'd rate that performance a 4 out of 6.

The @SingingLift had us laughing with sheer joy the other day. A lady joined us & was bemused as we sang with the lift in a heap of giggles.
