Press Release
The sweet harmony of Ordsall Acapella Singers
On 26th September, vying with a juggling clown, a bouncy castle and the flashing cameras of an appreciative audience, the Ordsall Acapella Singers sang a mixture of gospel, pop and African close harmony songs at the Salford Lads Club summer event. Their sweet harmonies echoed round one of the Club’s beautiful rooms, only yards away from the rehearsal space used by Morrissey and The Smiths. Jeff Borradaile, the choir’s inspirational musical director, said it was their best performance yet.
Ordsall Acapella sing unaccompanied in four-part harmonies. Formed about two years ago, the group is going from strength to strength, giving regular concerts in and around Salford and Manchester, and running workshops in the community. You can next hear them on 22 September at 9 am at the New Marriott Hotel; 12 till 3 pm at Ordsall Park Festival, and on 23 September 1 till 2 pm at Ordsall Hall Eco Week.
The choir meets 7 and 9 pm on Tuesdays at the Everyone Centre, 2 Robert Hall Road, Ordsall, gravitating afterwards to the pub. A warm friendly and intimate group, it is open to new members, whether beginners or experienced singers.
If you want to join, find out about performances or arrange gigs or workshops, contact Gail at Ordsall Community Arts on 0161 848 8779.
