Swingle Singers sell-out UK tour
Friday, 28 July 2006
The swingle singers have just completed their 8-date UK tour, all of which were sold out. All the concerts, including Lincoln Cathedral, Newbury Spring Festival, Mayfield Festival, Exeter Festival, and St David's Cathedral Festival, were extremely successful and led to several immediate reinvitations.
The swingle singers may have been around since 1963, but fast-forward to 2006 and the current line-up in young, stylish and at the forefront of the international a cappella scene. While the original groups performed jazz and classical music arrangements, the current group has added latin, pop, and chill-out arrangements to their repertoire. Add a dash of choreography on stage and the result is a high-class, slick show which new appeals to a diverse audience of all ages. The swingle singers' commitment to a fresh new sound, inspiring a cappella arrangements and valuable educational projects has encouraged a rapidly growing teenage fan-base.
