Lost in music?

"Losing yourself in a choral group can be a uniquely satisfying experience."  So says a recently spotted article reporting "More Evidence of the Psychological Benefits of Choral Singing

New research finds it fulfills deep-seated needs of bonding with a group."

As a bunch of misfits who gather together to collectively look "cool" in "Dad-joke-chic faux fancy dress" stylee, we can empathize (because beneath the bluff exterior, we are modern men so can do empathy because of our heightened unemotional intelligence) with this notion that singing in groups is good for you.

Anyway, don't believe us, see for yourself this coming Sunday at the rather lovely Victoria Hall in the town of Radstock.  

Our belovéd ChoirMeister will be leading a Sing Like a Bloke workshop starting at 14:30 followed at 19:30 by a performance from the full troupe doing a double set showcasing our firm favourites and newer numbers to an enthralled audience.

Roll on Radstock

We are now on to our third leg (!) of our "March Madness" for 2016 as we travel further afield than we have done for a while into deepest darkest Somerset to the historic mining town of Radstock, which interestingly enough has a connection with us up in North North Wiltshire with its ancient links to the Fosse Way.

We are very pleased to be venturing to a new venue for us, the rather neat looking Victoria Hall in the town of Radstock.  

Our belovéd ChoirMeister will be leading a Sing Like a Bloke workshop starting at 14:30 followed at 19:30 by a performance from the full troupe doing a double set showcasing our firm favourites and newer numbers to an enthralled audience.

Come along if you can.

The sound of testosterone!

Off down South, Marlborough way

The poster says it all really...  

Three choirs, bar, cake and FREE to get in - you only have to worry about making enough of a donation to get out after a wonderful evening of song.

And you could enjoy the sounds of the blokes in fine voice as witnessed last Saturday with our opening number for the year.  

Hear for yourself and come along and hear much more.

Cricklade show SELLING OUT!

Well, we don't like to worry you, but we are getting close to selling out another very decent sized venue.  

Congrats to all the blokes involved in organizing the gig and to those who have managed to get tickets (it's not hard, just buy your tickets without dallying) - we hope we will provide a show worthy of the venue and the good causes.

For those of you still pondering, please get a move on and call 07517 847 816 or email gigs@themagnificentak47.com pronto!
