jazz music review

In The Smoke

This group of vocalists consisted of five girls and eight guys who sang a cappella pop and soul songs, and in the tight space of Sweet Teviot Place, the audience couldn't fail to be charmed by their genuine enjoyment and enthusiasm. Favorite tunes included 'Midnight Train' and 'Martha', but they also performed a dance music medley and, as a second encore, pulled out a medley of theme tunes from popular children's TV shows, including Inspector Gadget and Ghostbusters. There weren't any outstanding individual voices and they lost the rhythm once or twice, but they had superb backing vocals and harmonies, and seeing this charismatic group in a small performance space is a unique experience sure to leave you buzzing.
