JUNK JAM – VOCALS

  • Wed 16th May 2012

In combination with the percussion and horn arrangements, the voice section will weave in and out of beating drums and startling blown instruments to complete and reinforce Junk Jam’s unique sound.

Also held at Band On The Wall, these three sessions will allow vocalists the platform and structure to devise new material (as well as work on one pre-written arrangement) that will compliment the exciting sights and sounds of the Junk Jam spectacle!

With recycled costumes and specially designed mask wear, all vocalists will feel a sense of belonging to a much greater community of performers as the 160+ piece outfit takes to the streets for this year’s Manchester Day Parade and Manchester Jazz Festival.
