Vocal Harmony On the Radio
Each month I present Vox Pop Radio. Sponsored by Hullabaloo Quire Vox Pop is a celebration of vocal harmony and community singing.
This month I chat with Alex Proctor from the Choir With No Name – a fantastic national choir for those who have experienced homelessness. We’ll hear the Choir’s arrangement of This Is Me from The Greatest Showman and some highlights from their most recent live Christmas concert at Brighton Dome. You’ll also hear harmonic treats from This is the Kit, Liane Carroll and The Australian Voices, to name a few…as well as several references to beer! Let the silly season begin!
