In the Still of the Night
Born to be Wild
Life could be a Dream
(Radio 2 Live Performance)
|
AKAppella is a modern day barbershop
quartet who have dragged close harmony into the 21st century to deliver
a performance with harmony and style with (more than a little) charm
and a dash of cheek. Performing with a dynamism and energy that might
only come from a family group, which can rely on intuition. And all
with a bold charm offensive that has charmed the most diverse of audiences
and ages from 9 to 90!
"Very
slick indeed. Thanks for coming along and charming us all with your
songs!" (Virgin Media)
They hail from the port town of Lowestoft
on the East Coast - birthplace to Benjamin Britten and, indeed, can
boast a relation to the famous composer (cousin twice removed – and
boy do they boast!) . The quartet’s innovative approach and original
style has brought them to the attention of BBC Radio 2 who invited them
to make a live appearance resulting in recording a personal jingle for
the station!
As well as the traditional barbershop,
AKAppella specialise in Doo-Wop, classic Rock & Roll and BeBop and also
incorporating Gospel, Jazz and Soul; they cover classic a cappella songs
such as ‘Life Could be a Dream’ and ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’ amongst others
but also pride themselves in taking some very contemporary songs and
making unique covers of them in these classic styles.
