A note from its founder Swingle Edward Randell:

The lowest point of the London A Cappella Festival 2013, nay, of musical history, is back by overwhelming demand for London A Cappella Festival 2014 Kings Place. I'm talking of course about your favourite bass choir, WOOFER.

If you'd like to join this LACF Extra 2014 event, please send an email to [email protected] with a brief description of your singing experience and your vocal range. Only basses need apply...

The Single Singers

The Single Singers was originally created for the London A Cappella Festival in January 2012. Its inspired founders, Annemarie Homan and Emily May ‘t Hoen, started the group as a way to give singers that were coming to the festival on their own the opportunity to actually perform in a group. We’re delighted that The Single Singers will be back in force for #LACF2014!

A note from the founders:

Attending a concert or a workshop (or even everything!) at the London A Cappella Festival 2014?  If you are an experienced singer not currently singing in a group, or your group is not able to come with you to the festival, please join us.

Learn your parts at home (4 or 5 songs), have 2 rehearsals in London during the festival and 1 glorious performance at LACF2014! Send us an e-mail if you would like to participate: [email protected] and we'll be in touch with you a.s.a.p."
