Swingle Singers

The Swingle Singers are legendary in the world of vocal groups. With their roots in 1960’s close harmony arrangements of both classical (Bach) and contemporary (Beatles) pieces, the group is now recognised as setting the standard of a cappella singing across the world. The Swingle Singers’ performances take them from the Royal Albert Hall to Ronnie Scotts and everywhere in between. The Swingle Singers boast 5 Grammy Awards and a catalogue of over 50 recordings, of which Ferris Wheels is the newest, perhaps most innovative release to date. Today’s incarnation of Swingle Singers are young, sexy and unbelievably talented - and are committed to bringing the versatile world of a cappella to the masses.
