Kathy Bluff delivers her distinctive style of soulful vocals and swinging jazz violin with warmth andcharm, Paul Burjan adds glittering soprano and tenor sax, and John Blenkhorn provides the rhythmic pulse and Django-esque solos. That essential Parisian ambience comes with the piano accordion of Garry Steel, while John Conley ondouble bass and Rodney Ford on drums lay down the best of grooves. Just brilliant!

They sing about man matters, the contents of the shed and puzzling purchases which seemed a good idea at the time. And they can sing! Haunting Georgian chants, funny originals and unlikely covers, their harmonies are fine and close, and their tuning, timing and dynamics impeccable. Expect pin drop beautiful love ballads, Georgian table songs, celebrations of ‘boys’ things’ (sheds, tools, surfing), hilarious spoofs (The Bee Gees), and searching musical explorations of their own body parts. Conductor, MC and ‘borderline genius’ Stephen Taberner creates all the weird and wonderful arrangements on top of writing all but a few of the songs. Under his direction the Spooky Men’s brilliant harmonies are spine-shiveringly tingling and deeply thrumming at the same time. Described as ‘surely the best a cappella act in the land’ by music critic John Shand, you will need to book early for this one.
