Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Spooky Men's Chorale
Don’t miss an opportunity to see them” – Daily Telegraph
“Do see them live ... once seen they are never forgotten! Beautiful singing; very sharp and witty lyrics.” – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
“It takes a rare skill to be very silly, thoughtful, and sing in perfect harmony, but the Spooky Men’s Chorale manage to achieve just that.” – The Guardian
“Sheer musical excellence – like the ghosts of choristers long gone” – Sydney Morning Herald
Winner - Australian Folk Music Awards - People's Choice Award
As thunderous as a herd of wildebeest, as sly as a wagonload of Spike Milligans and as sonorous as a cloister of monks, the Spooky Men’s Chorale are the gift that keeps on giving. With 10 sell-out UK tours and 6 highly-acclaimed albums under their belts, the Spooks' continue to thrill an ever-growing international fanbase with their own unique combination of Georgian table songs, beautiful ballads, highly inappropriate covers, and a swag of original songs.
They first emerged blinking-eyed from the Blue Mountains of New South Wales in 2001. Armed with no more than their voices and an ill-matched set of hats, the Spooky Men have since built a cult following stretching across the globe. Their extraordinary combination of deadpan delivery and heart-stopping harmonies thrills theatre and festival audiences alike, garnering rapturous reviews.
Having had extensive airplay from the likes of Cerys Matthews (Radio 6), Mark Radcliffe (Radio 2), In Tune (Radio 3) and Front Row (Radio 4), recent UK tours have seen the Spooks perform at WOMAD, Edinburgh and Sidmouth festivals, smashing headline spots to audiences in their thousands.
Equally loved for their musical brilliance as for their absurdly joyful take on your favourite song, as well as a vast catalogue of both tender and ridiculous originals, the Spooky Men’s Chorale can only be fully understood live.
You must see them, really must...
