Welcome to the home of The Voice Festival UK

THE A CAPPELLA REVOLUTION!

The Voice Festival is an a cappella initiative that has now been running in the UK for 2 years.

2009 saw its official launch, though similar events have been run in various UK cities over the last four years which have had great success and incited unprecedented enthusiasm!

Founded by two singers who found their love for a cappella at university, The Voice Festival will take place at schools and universities across the UK in February and March 2009. Workshops and master-classes will be directed by leading professionals in the vocal field, and these events really are open to anyone. The Voice Festival's objective is to include as many different singers as possible of all ages and from a range of backgrounds, and to bring them together to sing, meet one another, have fun, and explore their voices.

The Voice Competition UK is run as part of the Festival and features university groups from across the nation who compete in regional finals to win prizes (including best arrangement, choreography, soloist) as adjudicated by celebrity judges, and in the hopes of progressing to the final which is held in London. Performers in the line-up include several groups featured in the live rounds of the BBC's Last Choir Standing! In the London final of The Voice Competition UK, the groups will compete for the title of “Best UK University a Cappella Group 2009” and for the grand prize (to be announced!). The songs chosen by the groups are almost always arranged by group members and embrace a host of musical genres, from pop and rock to blues, folk and hip-hop – what more entertainment could one want!
