Our first official fan mail and a review from our debut concert at the Buxton Fringe!
Went to Buxton Fringe last Friday to see MusiKa, a trio from Liverpool - Rachel Ashton, Helen Griffiths and Kevin Foott accompanied by Roger Stephens - at the United Reformed Church.
If you are a lover of `musical theatre` you missed a treat.
The show `Musicality` had everything from Carousel to Beauty and the Beast. All 3 performers had very strong voices and could stand alone in any situation. The solos were excellent and the harmonies were absolutely superb.
We even got 2 kinds of chocolate cake in the interval.
I for one will be following their progrss on Twitter, Facebook and their own websitewww.musikasingers.weebly.com.
Well done my lovely friends,
Looking forward to our next meeting.

And from the Fringe reviewer............
I can't remember the last time I saw a 'Songs from the Shows' concert at the Buxton Fringe, so how refreshing to see Liverpool trio Musika bring a selection of hits from the musicals to the United Reformed Church.
The three performers, Rachel Ashton, Kevin Foott and Helen Griffiths, brought a programme of very familiar favourites to Buxton, accompanied by pianist Roger Stephens: All That Jazz, As Long As He Needs Me, Beauty & The Beast ... the list goes on.
Performing in a church, without the shield of clever lighting is very exposing, but the singers rose to the challenge, with simple but effective staging. All three have deep voices, so some of the songs were better suited to their voices than others: Another Suitcase In Another Hall, I Know Him So Well and (well sung by Ms Ashton) The Music of the Night....
One final thing: I was tempted to say that an interval seemed a bit unnecessary in an hour-long show, but then the singers provided the audience with home-made cake, so I'll let them off!
