The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a magnificent, many-headed beast that’s single-handedly turned the world of men’s singing upside down. Bypassing well-trodden avenues, they carve out new territories with mighty man sounds, exquisite tenderness, and charming stupidity. Both celebrating masculinity and mocking it.
Formed in New South Wales in 2001, the Spooks are rock-solid festival and theatre favourites in Australia, UK and Europe. They’ve got seven albums and nearly 1000 gigs under their belts. No subject is too trivial or weighty for their attention. And such ability to find new musical rooms to explore contributes greatly to their astonishing fan loyalty.
The Spooky Men’s Chorale turns 25 this year. On this tour they’ll celebrate their birthday with some delightful crumpets from their shimmering, ludicrous history plus the usual smorgasbord of tantalising new bon bons.
To see them is to forever not unsee them. They’re just a bunch of blokes, but where they take you will blow your mind…
