MEN IN GENERAL
à cappella quintuplets
Full length evening show touring through 2013/14

‘delightfully, surprisingly masculine’ Daphne
‘I never looked at my watch once until the end and that’s unusual for me. Spot on!’ Sarah, The Village Singers
‘The gents prowled the stage with immense energy and verve, engaging with the audience and enjoying the repartee and lively banter. If you get a chance to see them, do!’ The Magnificent AK47’s

Men In General are five ordinary lads separated at birth by the cruel hand of fate, later sacked by BP for mishandling an oil spillage, awarded six-figure pensions and now re-united to sing Marvin Gaye, Joe Jackson, Coope Boyes & Simpson, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Stills, Billy Joel, Elvis, The Beach Boys, The Spooky Men’s Chorale & other top lyrics. Chances of that?

Feel the love, feel the nonsense, feel the lives led, feel the A38 to Gloucester.
