THE REAL SING and the MEN OF THE WEST – Sweet Sweet Music
7:30 Friday May 18 and Saturday May 19 – The Old Mill Theatre, South Perth
For the first time these two well-loved choirs come together to sing, each in their own inimitable style.
The full, cheerful harmonies of The Real Sing and the posturing manliness of the Men of the West promise to provide an evening of entertainment and amusement to split sides and warm cockles.
Between Friday 18 May 2018 and Saturday 19 May 2018
The Old Mill Theatre, South Perth
Corner of Mends St and Mill Point Rd, South Perth, WA 6151
Tickets from trybooking
17&18 February 6:45 pm
Circus Theatre at Fringe Central
Perth Cultural Centre, Northbridge
Part pompous parade, part intricate lecture, part stand-off. Come and witness a 18-strong line of men sing about what it takes to build a man. From concrete to power tools, recipes to beards and perhaps back to tools again. With humour mixed with poignancy, subtle theatre, and some fine strong harmonies, it’s time to extend your expectations of a male choir. Ancient Georgian folksongs, curious Stephen Taberner originals and their unexpected versions of well-known favourites are all found in the repertoire. Festival favourites in WA for more than a decade, and after two successful seasons at FRINGE WORLD 2016 & 2017, the Men are back to entertain you, black and be-hatted, with a new manbag full of goodies.

SUNDAY 3RD DECEMBER 2017
We present for your delight and puzzlement, Men of the West. Led by director Ryan Morrison, these men have been refining their subtle theater of pointless grandeur over the past decade, being regulars at the Fairbridge Festival and the Dunsborough Songfest.
They picked up a Highly Commended Award at the Adelaide Fringe in 2014.
They will deliver a variety of a Capella songs ranging from the haunting beauty of ancient Georgian harmonies to original songs of the quotidian rituals and trials of being a man in today’s world. In so doing, the Men will illuminate for you The Secrets of Mansinging. They will extend your expectations of a men’s choral group. Welcome to Men of the West: ‘gentle and sad, even sweet, but also powerful and unmistakably male’.
It is believed that this be-hatted, behemoth of bearded individuals is suspiciously similar to a certain other outfit seen in a very successful season at Perth’s 2016 Fringe World. Who are we to say? The evolution of men is a strange and wonderful thing.
10-12 November 2017
