Standard Theatre Seated Come for an evening of entertainment and delight with these two wonderful choirs - one visiting, especially for this weekend, from London and one very special local community choir. They will have you laughing one minute and possibly shedding a tear of joy the next - all wrapped up with glorious harmonies and acapella singing that will soothe your soul! This is a fundraising event to showcase the transformational work done by local charity Growing Well who support adults to improve their mental health in beautiful, productive and non-clinical settings in Kendal, Tebay and West Cumbria. Chaps Choir is a large singing gang from London; say goodbye to the male voice choir most would recognise. The group has been sharing its joy-inducing, heart-string pulling repertoire to audiences since 2013. Prepare for pop re-hashes, snowy hunting calls, self-aware pirates and, well, lots of men singing … Their voices have filled the Royal Festival Hall, Roundhouse, Union Chapel & other major London venues. They’ve performed live on Saturday night prime time TV, recorded at Abbey Road and been the subject of articles, news pieces & podcasts exploring men’s singing & male community. The choir has released a full length live album as well as numerous singles and video projects over the years, aiding its mission to bring the metropolitan singing chap into the choral melee. They envision a world where all chaps (and ‘other’ men) can find their singing voice. The choir was founded and is led by singer & choir director Dom Stichbury.
