Chaps Choir

Chaps Choir is a large singing gang from London; say goodbye to the male voice choir most would recognise. The group has been sharing its joy-inducing, heart-string pulling repertoire to audiences since 2013. Prepare for pop re-hashes, snowy hunting calls, self-aware pirates and, well, lots of men singing ...

Their voices have filled the Royal Festival Hall, Roundhouse, Union Chapel & other major London venues. Featured at Wilderness & Port Eliot festivals the choir has slowly built a name through its urbane entertaining presentation and unexpected repertoire choices. They've performed live on Saturday night prime time TV, recorded at Abbey Road and been the subject of articles, news pieces & podcasts exploring men's singing & male community.

The choir has released a full length live album as well as numerous singles and video projects, aiding its mission to bring the metropolitan singing chap into the choral melee. Their recordings have been played on 6MUSIC, featured on Radio 4's Soul Music and have gained an international reputation for an alternative approach to male voice singing.

Collaborations with artists & organisations include: Omar, Joe Stilgoe, Samantha Whates, The Spooky Men's Chorale, CALM, Music Venue's Trust & The Choir With No Name.

The choir was founded and is led by singer & choir director Dom Stichbury.
