Solent City were proud to be invited to perform in an “a cappella showcase” on the Isle of Wight on 11 th October. The evening of singing was held at the lovely All Saints Church in Gurnard and was mainly aimed at raising funds for the Church. But it was also an opportunity for our pals at Wight Harmony to celebrate the end of their recent “Learn to Sing” course and to welcome several new members into their club.


A packed Church enjoyed some great performances from Wight Harmony, Solent City and from the island’s mixed barbershop chorus, South Island A Cappella (SIAC). There were also several top-notch quartets on show. But the highlight was a couple of songs sung together by Solent City and SIAC, followed by two more numbers performed jointly by Wight Harmony and Solent. Afterwards, members of the audience commented that with more than 40 guys on stage, the depth and emotion of the singing was really very special.

A great day out for the guys of Solent City, a very special evening of singing, and hopefully a big boost to funds for All Saints Church in Gurnard.
