Chaps Choir at The Union Chapel for our 5th Birthday gig | 19th May 2018
ABOUT
Chaps Choir is a large male 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, The Union Chapel & other major London venues. Featured at Wilderness & Port Eliot festivals the choir has slowly built a name through its urbane entertaining presentation and unexpected repertoire choices. 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.
Collaborations with artists & organisations include: Omar, Joe Stilgoe, Samantha Whates, The Spooky Men’s Chorale, CALM & The Choir With No Name. 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 run by singer & choir director Dom Stichbury. Dom creates positive spaces that encourage men to express themselves through song and community. He performs with The Spooky Men's Chorale and is one half of singing duo 'Ben & Dom'.
