Dressed in black, apart from their foolish hats, and boasting a variety of ages, shapes and sizes The Spooky Men’s Chorale thoroughly entertained a sold-out audience in 2015. They sing about man matters, the contents of the shed and puzzling purchases which seemed a good idea at the time. And they can sing!
Haunting Georgian chants, funny originals and unlikely covers, their harmonies are fine and close, and their tuning, timing and dynamics impeccable. Expect pin drop beautiful love ballads, Georgian table songs, celebrations of ‘boys’ things’ (sheds, tools, surfing), hilarious spoofs (The Bee Gees), and searching musical explorations of their own body parts. Conductor, MC and ‘borderline genius’ Stephen Taberner creates all the weird and wonderful arrangements on top of writing all but a few of the songs.
Under his direction the Spooky Men’s brilliant harmonies are spineshiveringly tingling and deeply thrumming at the same time. Described as ‘surely the best a cappella act in the land’ by music critic John Shand, you will need to book early for this one.
