They are magnificent, and they are quite a rarity in the south-east, being based in Devon. They are Barry Lister, Sean O'Shea, Tom Addison and Dave Lowry. Between them they have been in The Songwainers, Isca Faryre and Hollinmoor; they came together as The Claque a couple of years ago. They sing unusual, mainly traditional songs in unaccompanied four-part harmony, and they are quite unlike other male a capella groups of today - Coope Boyes & Simpson or The Wilson Family, for example. The harmonies are strong, complicated, powerful and often almost dangerous. Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNS144PKTXI.You'll also find some well-informed reviews of their CD, 'Sounding Now,' on http://foreshorefolk.com/Sounding-Now-ReviewsThey are guaranteed to sound terrific in the acoustics of our new room in the Elephant.As always, floor singers will be welcome.Valmai Goodyear
