We are a quartet based in Nottingham, UK. who sing mainly in the barbershop style.

Between the members we have a vast experience of not only Barbershop and Acapella singing, but years of performing in the UK , Europe and the USA as (pop) group members and as solo artistes

 

 

 

 

Special Blend welcome the opportunity to sing virtually anywhere, from a small gathering, or even to one person (your sweetheart? wife?), to large events inside and out.

 

Our latest appearance was with the Chorus at Heanor. We have recently performed a at Nottingham Castle, for the Rotary and Lions Clubs, and at private and corporate functions . Please visit our website for more details

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event, and the singers who did a sterling performance. Thanks to everyone for making the evening special.

We will certainly consider you for any future events, and will pass on your details to our sheltered scheme managers who may be interested for some of their parties.

Again many thanks Ron for making our night enjoyable

We had an amazing honeymoon, we just got back yesterday. Yes it was an amazing end to an amazing day. We would like to thank you all for the amazing performance you gave on our special day. We got some feedback too from our guests and they said you were wonderful and how different it was to a run of the mill string quartet. Yes a truly memorable part to our day.
Thank you so much again,
Kim & John

I booked Special Blend for my father's 70th Birthday party in April 2008. My family and I thought we would like something "a little bit different" in the way of entertainment for such a milestone birthday celebration.

Chris, Mick, Rob & Ron were excellent and professional entertainers. They held the audience's attention brilliantly with their choice of songs, fun choreography and great sense of humour. Special Blend were absolute gentlemen. The quality of their singing was fabulous and their costumes were very smart.

The feedback received after the party was great - they went down a storm. The managers of the party venue were so impressed with the quartet that they have booked Special Blend for a charity event at Christmas 2008, and I believe that some of the party guests were interested in booking them for other functions.

I would highly recommend this professional and fun quartet.

Hi Ron. Just to say a big thank you to you and the group for taking part in the Way Out Fest.

Really enjoyed your vocals (and splendid feedback from the audience). Particularly enjoyed your impromptu performance at the Information Desk!
Many thanks again, and hope that you enjoyed the day.
