From the Ridiculous to the Sublime, via Magnificent?

Just a quick plug for a couple of events featuring us truly in the People's Republic of Stroud where we welcome the rather wonderful Glorious Chorus from way down south.  

More shall be muttered but suffice for now to warn you that it is on, it will be hot, and possibly quite sublime, and we will be quite possibly ridiculous whilst being utterly Magnificent.

Thank You Sub Rooms

Thank you to everyone who turned out in considerable numbers to support us and partake of a memorable evening at the very lovely Stroud Subscription Rooms.

Hopefully it was not too crowded for everyone as it was a pretty sizeable audience in that venerable old venue - what a history and important part of the town it is!

And thanks also to the ever marvelous and vocally inspiring The Croutons, always a delight to hear what you can do with three voices and a good deal of musical imagination.

Never ones to pass up the opportunity to purchase new hats, it was good to see a new crop of toppers wheeled out for a wonderfully received home town version of Unsung Hero No. 10, the homage to Edwin Beard Budding.

Knowledgeable audiences are on of our specialties,  but the Stroud crowd surpassed all others in their familiarity of the oeuvre of Mr Budding.

So, farewell Stroud and next up Swindon - let's hope they like the chorus of Ashton Keynes Land Shanty and we live to tell the tale.

Big Gig at Stroud Sub Rooms tonight

Last week The Voices Now Festival in the London Roundhouse and appearances on the BBC Radio 3 show The Choir, this week a cross border raid to the badlands of Gloucestershire and the People's Republic of Stroud as we line up and voluntarily sing at the Subscription Rooms with the immensely talented and tuneful The Croutons.

We hope you can join us and at what promises to be a very special "Afters" which we will announce at the gig.  

Book from here and save enough money to nearly buy one of us a pint.

Unlock your inner minstrel with us at Stroud Sub Rooms

Far be it from us to suggest that this is an old photo with ancient copy and that we have moved on massively since this was all put together, but 'tis true.  

When this pic was snapped around 1/3 of our current crew were not on board and since then we have sung in caves, castles, coaches, clifftops, quaysides, inside Stonehenge, multiple times at The London Roundhouse at the Voices Now Festival and appeared TWICE on National Radio, including being a main feature on BBC Radio 3's The Choir program.  

We also have more songs that speak of the dilemmas facing thoroughly modern men and how we strive to release ourselves by #getmensinging.

Having said all that, 'tis also true, we have been praised by many as "surprisingly good" and hopefully you can see for yourself this coming Saturday as we unleash our Radio 3 approved set along with the infinitely more talented The Croutons this 16 May from 8.00pm at the very wonderful Subscription Rooms in The People's Republic of Stroud.  

Avoid disappointment and save yourself nearly enough money to buy us a pint from their website at http://www.subscriptionrooms.org.uk/general.asp?pid=12&pgid=972.
