Chaps choir
FESTIVALS
Chaps Choir have been taking their witty, moving and urbane alt male choir experience out of the city and into the UK’s festival fields since 2015. Beyond throwing down a set that’s boisterous and touching by turns, they bring that much-needed festival magic, with audience participation a-plenty, singing workshops & up-close performances that bring festival-goer and performer together at last.
Fun, dynamic performances & workshops
