Solow Choir - Wide Eyes (Live @ Guiseley Theatre)

How did the idea for this show at Guiseley Theatre come about?

I had a conversation with one of the band members about how we could end the year with a bang and all of a sudden we found ourselves with a lot of grand ideas and a venue booked and all the plans were falling into place to begin building up to the show. I wanted to blend some of our more technological aspects of our show such as synths and vocal effects with some more organic and traditional instruments to create a unique, almost cinematic soundtrack. With the logistics of such a show it may very well be a once in a lifetime event for me which makes me want to give it everything I've got and really push the boundaries of what Solow Choir is capable of.

SPECIAL THANKS

The logistics of this show from conception of the original idea to reality is quite an achievement and this would not have been possible without an enthusiastic team of people working together to a common goal. From musicians in the band to stage production, sound engineering and marketing, all aspects are of equal importance to ensure the show's success.
