I haven’t finally decided yet, but I’m thinking of re-establishing Head Row when I return to Leeds next year. It would be a completely new set of men and I may or may not sing with the group during performances, since when it continues, I won’t be there beyond next year.

A cappella is a lot bigger in the USA than it is in the UK. There are numerous groups at each university and they all compete in the many competitions, as well as performing their own events. It was this competitive nature that meant that I didn’t get into any of the groups that I auditioned for here at Penn State University.
Nevermind, eh. I’ll just have to start my own. So, tomorrow, Marvin and I will be meeting up to discuss the possibility of this new club. At last I might be singing again! Continue reading ‘A Cappella in the USA’ »
The 30th April saw the Annual Showcase 2008 of the Leeds University Union A Cappella Singers. The show also featured Head Row, whose first mp3 is featured on this website.

Head Row is the name of a barbershop group that I am in in Leeds. It consists of 8 (up from the 6 we had last year) students at the university who are passionate about singing a cappella. This group is all male, although occasional female guest vocals have been used.
UPDATE 12th April 2009: To listen to Head Row, go to our myspace page. I have removed the mp3 of “For The Longest Time” which we recorded in May 2007 from this site but you can listen to the same recording on the myspace page.
