Leeds City Harmony

Well on Friday my friend and I went to watch Leeds City Harmony perform at the Hifi Club in the city centre. They had created a really nice cosy setting inside with fairy lights illuminating the stage. I was excited to see these guys as they had been practising for their performance at the studio over the last few weeks. When I went to lock up after one of their sessions, I caught a bit of their rehearsal and their harmonies sounded brill! Another draw for me personally was the group seemed to be a young bunch, all fairly similar in age to me, something which generally I don't come across with choirs. Their choice of music also reflected this with renditions of Mika, Glee, Elbow and other current songs. A few of the older classics were also cleverly mixed in alongside a few cultural songs including one sung in Welsh. All of these added to a great mix of songs - something for everyone as they say! They all had great voices and the fantastic relationship between the group memebers was really apparent. Guest performers at the event included a set by the 'Honey Drum' whose carnival rhythms were undoubtedly infectious. I don't believe anybody who says they weren't at least tapping their foot along!!
All in all it was a great night and I thoroughly recommend checking out the Leeds City Harmony group for future performances! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Leeds-City-Harmony/213427981514
