Fever Pitch Homepage
Four members of The VIPs (Ipswich Barbershop Chorus) Bob, Chris, Ben and Phil, appearing as "Epicentre", entered Sudbury Festival in 2019 to expand our Barbershop capabilities by learning to sing in Quartet. We were so encouraged by our reception that we set about serious rehearsals.
Rebranded as "Fever Pitch" in October 2019 and resplendent in our new uniform, we sang at our first "paid" gig at Christmas 2019.
We all like to tell Barbershop stories!

Coming Events
We have been engaged to sing for a wedding in August!
Several requests from the bride, so several new songs to learn.
We've also been invited back to Colchester Zoo for their Christmas celebrations.
So we shall need some new Christmas songs as well.
Dates have yet to be finalised but they'll be here when we know.

It's a big stage and a smart audience.
But we enjoyed the singing, as always.
Although we ended up a solid last place, our score put us in the same league as those above us, so no disgrace there. Congratulations to Trailblazers who led the way, as they did last year. No chickens to be counted yet though. There are two more rounds to the competition before a winner emerges at Harrogate in May next year.
