Naked Voices Go West

Naked Voices

Certainly not the youngest or most modern of shows at this year's Fringe, 'Naked Voices Go West', one must be advised, is for a niche a-cappella audience. Two sets of classic English pieces and hits from the sixties and seventies might not please everyone, but I can see that for an audience already receptive to these styles, Naked Voices probably provide a charming and delightful evening. The show was not enormously creative, and no one performer could be called an extraordinary talent, but the performance was, nevertheless, intimate and friendly. The westward-themed musical voyage sang its way across the ocean, but personally I'd have preferred it if they'd sung across a few more octaves too. But if you take The Naked Voices for what they are, and like what they are, you should enjoy.
