In The Pink A Cappella

Although I have been aware of this company attending the Fringe for a few years this was the first opportunity for me to see them due to my normally over crowded schedule.

I an a lover of a cappella music and I had never seen an ‘all-girl’ group of this ilk, previously all male or mixed ensembles.

In the Pink are an eight strong group of women from Oxford took to the stage wearing black tops an of course pink skirts and over the next 50 minutes entertained their busy audience with some wide and varied music, up tempo numbers were predominant Jump as recorded by Sister Sledge opened proceedings, We Will Rock You, It’s in His Kiss, Suddenly I See and their Abba mega mix were just a few of the highlights. However the reworking of some of the words for the Turtles ‘Happy Together’ brought peels of laughter from one and all.

The vocal were shared amongst all, and they all had very nice voices. At times however the sound was a little thin. Most other groups I’ve seen have had more members, hence more voices to fill out the sound and occasionally their movement looked a little clumsy.

Still all in all a very pleasant show one well worth checking out.
