VOCES8 5 Star Review in Birmingham Alabama News
18.2.10
'5 stars out of five' says the Birmingham Alabama News about VOCES8 in a recent review of their concert with Birmingham Boys Choir on Tuesday 16th February.
'the double quartet was as polished and British as a new pair of patent leather shoes from Harrods's'... with a 'pristine British choral sound'.
'There was virtually no style or technique that the group didn't own outright... Voces8 treated the audience to tight, lush jazz harmonies, rock and jazz drumming, vocalized upright bass (both slapped and plucked) and what added up to a pretty decent music appreciation lecture in between numbers'.
