Naturally 7

Fri 1 Oct, 7.45pm

Tickets: £10, £20, £25

Growing out of the a cappella tradition of groups such as Take 6 and Boyz II Men, Naturally 7 take the classic close-harmony style to stratospheric new highs. Mixing beat boxing, basslines and uncanny instrumental imitation with rap and hook-laden soul, pop and jazz, this is a vocal group in a league of its own.

Their astonishingly versatile voices provide not just the lyrics, melodies and harmonies, but every musical instrument. They call the results ‘vocal play’ and their performances have garnered diverse fans including Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Jay Leno and Brian Eno. There is something genuinely fresh about the way they use their voices.

YouTube has been their major showcase - their impromptu display on the Paris metro has already been seen by millions, but it’s the live experience that really makes this group stand out.
