The Nest in Ledbury will be celebrating the human voice in a series of four concerts called Nest of Voices.

Taking place on the four Thursday nights throughout September, the concerts will all held in a marvellous large yurt at the venue on the Hereford Road at Little Verzons Farm.

Eclectic, intimate and sublime, the concerts will feature the breadth and variation of the human voice combined with delicious food and drink. The series starts on September 6 with the ethereal classical sounds of Excelsa Voces fresh from performances in Tewkesbury Cathedral. They are followed by comedy a cappella quadruplets Men in General on September 13, shanty specialists The Longest Johns from Bristol on September 20, and culminating with the big soul sounds of the Hereford Soul Choir on September 27.

Excelsa Voces performances are an immersive experience seamlessly blending medieval and contemporary music. The quintet of singers, led by soprano Paula Evans, will create an immersive soundscape with a programme that ranges from 12th century chant to contemporary works. Men in General mix à cappella classics with comedy, advice on relationships, what not to wear, home baking, car parking and the tender side of Man, while the Longest Johns rock maritime songs alongside the more unusual and less traditional folk tunes. The series ends with a real party as Hereford Soul Choir bring soul, Motown and gospel in what promises to be a dynamic performance.
