Swingle Singers

The London-based Swingle Singers are legendary in the world of vocal groups. With their roots in 1960’s close harmony arrangements of both classical (Bach) and contemporary (Beatles) pieces, the group is now recognised as the setting the standard of a cappella singing all over the world. All the Swingle Singers sounds are made with the human voice – from the bass and percussion of latin, to the synth sounds of pop, and instrumental sounds of jazz, the Swingle Singers are the real ‘super group’.

The Swingle Singers performances take them from the Royal Albert Hall to Ronnie Scotts, from La Scala to local schools, and everywhere in between. The Swingle Singers boast 5 Grammy Awards and a catalogue of over 50 recordings, of which “Ferris Wheels” is the newest, perhaps most innovative release to date, including pieces by Björk, Joni Mitchell, Annie Lennox, Nick Drake, and Stevie Wonder.

The Swingle Singers present their own annual London A Cappella Festival at Kings Place each January, and can also be heard at Cadogan Hall and major UK festivals in 2010.

Today’s incarnation of Swingle Singers are young, sexy and unbelievably talented – and are committed to bringing the versatile world of a cappella to the masses.
