Remember The Poušters? I posted a video of them performing in Prešeren square in Ljubljana more than a year ago. But that is not to say that those kids are the only ones putting the statue of good ol’ Doctor Fig to good use. As I was making my way back to The Firm™ Thursday last, I noticed a group of men singing in English. And I don’t mean your usual my-club-is-better-than-your-club-and-I’ve-got-my-mates-to-prove-it kind of singing, but true chorus singing, the way it should be done.
Upon closer inspection, these gentlemen turned out to be members of VoiceMale, a community folk choir from Morpeth, Northumberland, UK. They gave a very nice performance, and – to tell you the truth – my day way better for it. Thank you, gentlemen! Especially Mr. Graham Stacy, with whom I did this short interview. 😀

P.S.: Thanks to Alenka of Slovene Press Agency for kicking me in the butt and making me do the video.
don’t know, if you are aware, but male voice choirs are inherently connected with your institution. so … did you hear them singing Billy, come home! (while flicking through the stations with the dial in your head)?
Roger Waters? 🙂
Actually, I found out about this album only after we’ve registered the trademark, so there was no going back 🙂
I noticed that you stuck around long enough to be offered a cup of wine. 🙂
Nicely done, thanks for this.
Ah yes, one of my many weaknesses. It was a good wine, too. 😉
Gosh, I miss Ljubljana!!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Hey is it just Rodney or is the blog totally out of whack? I’m not seeing any blog graphics whatsoever.
@Dr: in FF – clear private data!
@Davor: I tried clearing the cache and reloading the page repeatedly if that’s what you mean, but nothing worked. Then a day later all was back to normal. I sort of missed the header image, you know
We have only just discovered this video. It’s great to view it this long after our visit. Happy memories! We hope to return some day.
It way – and indeed still is – my pleasure! I hope you return to Ljubljana some time soon. If you do, give me a shout, I’ll show you around a bit 🙂
