No Bow Ties. No Blazers. No Auditions. Just men and song. The mighty Male Voice classics from the valleys of the Land of the Dragon. Insane Georgian/Bulgarian repertoire to make the very stones weep Vintage cheese from the Barbershop tradition (tempered with a small pinch of salt) Also anthems concerning the wonders of facial hair, garden sheds, reversing round corners, etc.... Not so much a new idea as a distillation of every great 'man-singing' concept' that has ever graced this earth. Rolled into one. In Bristol. By the people who created 'Gurt Lush Choir'. It will be BIG & fun. Virile & beautiful. Devilishly charming... ...You know you want to....  less

In 1820, Daly was wrongfully accused of shooting at a local Landowner and condemned to hang. Although the local population acclaimed him as a hero and attempted to help him escape the gallows, he went quietly to his death. "Anthony! Since your limbs were laid out, the stars do not shine! The fish leap, not out in the waves! On our meadows, the dew does not fall in the morn, for O’Daly is dead!" Barber’s song feels like a huge public outpouring of grief. It begins with the basses repeating Anthony’s name on a drone whilst the upper voices sing a keening melody, and the piece builds to hysteria as the sopranos and altos take over the chanted name. There are also suggestions that Raftery’s poem is not a lament but a traditional poet’s curse, calling down retribution in response to Raftery’s...    less

Lullaby baby, now reclining, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Angels are watching, stars are shining Over the place where he is lying: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon will come sorrow with the morning, Soon will come bitter grief and weeping: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-dozing, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing, Then in the grave at last reposing: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby is the babe awaking? Sing lullaby! Hush, do not stir the Infant King. Dreaming of Easter, gladsome, morning, Conquering death, its bondage breaking: Sing lullaby!  less

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee, lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me, lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay Close by me for ever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.  less

Love shall be our token, love be yours and love be mine; love to God and others, love for plea and gift and sign. -Christina Rossetti
