The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Acapella group The Queen’s Six are performing in Pinchbeck as part of this year’s church flower festival.
Based at Windsor Castle, the members of The Queen’s Six make up half of the Lay Clerks of St George’s Chapel, whose homes lie within the castle walls.
This rare privilege demands the highest musical standards, as they sing regularly for the Royal family at both private and state occasions.
Most significantly, however, it is the familiarity of living and singing together in chapel every day that lends this group its distinctive closeness and blend, as well as an irresistible informality and charm.
Individually, members of The Queen’s Six have appeared in many of the most prestigious vocal ensembles on the circuit, including The Sixteen, The Tallis Scholars and Tenebrae.
Their repertoire extends far beyond the reach of the choir stalls: from austere early chant, florid Renaissance polyphony, lewd madrigals and haunting folk songs to upbeat jazz and pop arrangements.
The six are already tailoring some items with a Lincolnshire flavour!
The concert takes place at St Mary’s Church, Pinchbeck, on Wednesday, April 27 at 7.30pm.
Tickets will be on sale online at www.southhollandcentre.co.uk

The Flower Festival displays will depict changes in village life over the 90 years since the birth of Queen Elizabeth II.
