Sing with a jazz trio and beautiful
Steinway...
Vocals @ Vortex runs on the first Sunday of the month throughout the year. We will not be having a session in August though there is a vocals event on Sunday 26 August when the four winners of the Angela Carrington Award will be running their own event at the Vortex.
Our first presentation in the autumn will be on September 5th featuring minisets from Fay Madi and Antonio Solomon.
Doors open at 7.30. If you would like to sing it's best to arrive at that time so that you can get your name on the list which Romy looks after. Unless you have a very well known standard in mind please bring three copies of the music in a way that will lay out flat on music stands (so not in a volume with lots of page turns). The first set begins at 8pm.
Our mini-setters have included (in random order) Angela J Elliot, Akua Tua, Fay Madi, Roma Thomas, Kate Hughes, Anne Robson, Clive Raven, Romy Summers, Nancy Traquair, Anna Barnard, Yvonne Gidden, Mandy Eugeniou,Victor Munt, Laura Yogasundram, Rob Bush, Sue Mason, Toria Redfern, Kai Hoffman, Torben Rees, Lawrence Mackenzie, Rita Roberts, Wendy Lanchin, Anne Peck, Romy Summers, Anna Barnard Francine Winham, Aisling Byrne, Brian Shaw, Clare Gordon, Aimua Eghobamien, Klaud Gilzene, Anna Roemer, Carole Phillips , Cheryl Alleyne and Connie Chiu.
Brian Brian Shaw started "vocals @ vortex " in 2001 and was about to end the run in summer 2007. I enjoyed playing there so much that I asked if I could take it over. Romy Summers will continue to host the evening with her usual charm (and diplomacy).
