20 July 2013
The Spooky Men's Chorale plus Oxford Community Choir Vox Steady and Lucy Wise
Wave goodbye to choirs as you know them. This one is a macho juggernaut - zany, black-clad, big as a behemoth and show-stoppingly good. Sounding as sacred as a high church choir one minute; wickedly off the wall the next.
Following their triumphant UK tours in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011 The Spooky Men's Chorale will leave their native New South Wales to embark on their fourth tour of England, Scotland and Wales when they will regale Spooky veterans and virgins alike with rib-tickling (sometimes heart-rending) original compositions and eloquent arrangements by the inspired antipodean choral impresario, Stephen Taberner.
Tickets £17. Available online or by phone 01235 555670.
