As these things do however, the project has started to grow arms and legs, and we became available for the occasional bit of singing in public when we feel like it. Since then our performances have included singing in Glasgow Art Club, and in Edinburgh for the Royal College of Physicians. Based in the west of Scotland, we have All sung together in a prominent Glasgow choir, but the New 4tet gives us a chance to enjoy the much more intimate sensations of singing one to a part. All four of us have been involved in the music industry to a greater or lesser degree, and we All sing to a very high standard and love performing. If you'd like to know some more about the New 4tet, including the possibility of us coming to sing for you, please email us using the contact details on our website.  arent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
