We at en Choir are desperately in need of men for our bass section. Last week, keen volunteer altos Freya and Elli helped to beef up the male voices and even got into character with some facial decorations! If you know of any men who might be interested or you’d like to have a go yourself then just show up or contact us with any enquiries.
Last week we started learning an unusual arrangement of I Want You Back arranged by en Choir leader Emily Peasgood. With ‘bananas’ in the lyrics and strangely fun vocal techniques we love our new song, as well as others we are learning including: River of Dreams by Billy Joel and When Doves Cry by Prince. Come along – we always accept new members. Just show up on the night or contact us if you have any questions!
It’s been two years since en Choir released their EP and we wanted to share our awesome video with you again. Filmed and recorded by the fantastic Anton French, watch en Choir sing Africa by Toto, Senwa Dedende and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2.
If you or anyone you know is interested in trying en Choir, the first session is free for potential new members. Simply show up to one of our sessions, or contact us in advance.
