QUARTETS

 

The Velvetones also have three excellent Quartets who are available for bookings

        ALLEGRO

 

Jan Ryder (Lead) Eileen Clark (Tenor)

Stephanie Brent (Bass) and Elizabeth Rainey(Baritone)

In March 2006 four ladies got together to sing in harmony.  We instantly realised that our voices blended well and hence the quartet Allegro was born.  We are all experienced soloists but really enjoy the close harmonies we produce together.  Our fast increasing repertoire, which includes songs from the 16th century up to present day pop, has proved to be very popular with audiences.

 Allegro are steadily building a strong following after performing on many occasions at various venues and continue to go from strength to strength.  We love to ring those chords, why don’t you ring that phone and book us for your special occasion or  alternatively send an e-mail:

Elizabeth:       966 718 077

TOPAZ

Mary-Anne Wright (tenor), Gail Grainger (lead), Maggie Ellis-Press (bass) and, Val Crowley (baritone) got together in February 2007 to form Topaz.  They have been working hard to put together a repertoire of songs old and new to entertain audiences.  They have a vast amount of experience within the quartet as two members have been singing barbershop for over 15 years.

Topaz the gemstone has a mystical power to balance the emotions and calm passions, it also is known to release tension, giving a feeling of joy; which Topaz the quartet is hoping to emulate.

SAFFRON

 

 

 

I'm Brenda (Baritone), and it was my idea to form a quartet.  So,I asked around and twisted a few arms and this is the result.  Our name is Saffron, we are Maureen (Tenor), Shirley (Lead), Sandy (Bass) and me.  We are the third and newest quartet to spring from the Velvetones.  We've been together just a for just a few months, and practice every week.  We consider it a challenge, especially as the bench mark is already high, but are confident that we can be as good as the others.  Our main aim is to have fun and enjoy what we do.  Hopefully,others will too.
