 ===== Who are we? =====
-Bristol A Cappella is a high-quality mixed chorus that sings contemporary songs from a range of genres in the barbershop style. We don't have beatboxing or soloists, but we aim to create a wall of sound by singing in four to eight-part harmony. We’re always looking to improve our performances and have a good time along the way. We love to entertain at gigs and competitions and always welcome new auditionees. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds - you'll never have to sing by yourself and you get three months to do it!

+==== Taster evenings ====

 Not to worry! Our sister chorus [[http://allvoice.net|All Voice]] might be a better fit. There's no audition required to join AV and you're welcome to go to any rehearsal if you want to join.
