ABOUT US


Individual group members

Music

We sing an acapella repertoire embracing the styles of American song, swing, jazz, secular and also barbershop style to a high musical standard. Our rehearsals include  voice work on breathing, vowels, articulation blending, posture, presentation, musicality and listening skills - all vital to reach that ultimate performance level but, of course, still having fun. To become a member, the key factors are that you have a singing voice and a willingness to always aim for the best possible standards you can achieve. Our intention is to recruit and develop a chorus of 30 singers.
