Whilst we do make a charge for performances in order to provide a continuing supply of new music, to provide uniforms, and to cover the cost of travel to and from concert venues, we will always ensure that only a nominal fee is charged to assist you in your charity fund-raising. Please feel free to discuss these charges with our Treasurer, Bob Biggs, on 01384 459770, he will be happy to provide you with a firm quote
WEDDINGS
"WE SING WHILE YOU SIGN"
It is becoming increasingly "in vogue" to invite the Gentlemen Songsters to sing at your wedding. It swells the congregation (in a church service), it complements the singing of the guests, and it provides some pleasant entertainment whilst the official party is completing the formalities of signing the wedding register. If appropriate, we can also entertain the guests as they settle in their seats before the ceremony takes place
The following photograph, courtesy of Contrast Productions of Kingswinford (01384 288932) was taken as
the Gentlemen Songsters participated in a wedding in Holy Trinity Church, Wordsley
We can also supply "RENT-A-CROWD" to enhance your wedding photographs - as illustrated below
REPERTOIRE
The Gentlemen Songsters have one of the widest repertoires available to suit almost any occasion.
In keeping with the tradition of male voice singing, there is a strong emphasis on the "old favourites" including many hymns and arias; hymns of English, Welsh and other national origins; selections from many of the grand operas; favourites from Gilbert and Sullivan; Ivor Novello; Loehne and Loewe, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, Arwel Hughes, G F Handel, Emrys Jones, Wagner, Ron Goodwin, Lionel Bart, Puccini, Mozart etc; plus many items from the West End and Broadway shows, including Les Miserables, South Pacific etc.
