After
a break from the Fringe last year Naked Voices make a welcome return
to the Fringe this year and I was privileged to see their opening
gig in a packed out C Venue.
This
exceptionally talented group of acappella singers are usually very
good, however this year they were superb. All sixteen vocalists,
nine women and six men have excellent voices and the way they use
these to create the sounds they do just leave me in amazement.
Their choice of music is varied, Britney,
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Alanis Morrisette and Queen rub shoulders with
more traditional numbers and even Pearl & Dean commercials.
There
seems to be more choreography than before, but this certainly does
not detract from the spectacle. Problems? Only one I have run out of
superlatives to describe how good this group are.
If
there is a better group on the Fringe I've yet to find them and I'm
afraid they only get five stars because I can't award six!
