gig
on Friday 8th March. The event starts at 20:00.
Join Ben & Dom and Three Rivers for an evening of exquisite a cappella harmony in the beautiful acoustic surroundings of St Stephen's church in the heart of Bristol.
Ben & Dom are a singing duo from south London. Ben takes the high notes and Dom takes the low notes (most of the time). The intricate blend of their harmonies comes from a close friendship and shared love of singing together. They weave their voices around songs old and new, performing original material alongside new interpretations of folk songs. Their lyrics touch on friendship, nature and what it means for two men to sing together in this modern day.
Ben & Dom have taken their songs and voices around the UK, collecting festival appearances and completing a 20-date tour in 2022 to promote their debut album ‘His Head Lies Heavy’. (‘..incredibly well-crafted & beautiful’ – Folk London). They’ve opened for Tom Robinson, The Young Uns and regularly collaborate with friends & singers who share their love of voice & harmony.
Their debut EP ‘Shoulder’ (2021), written during the Covid-19 pandemic was well received by audiences and industry, (“Precision a cappella singing” - Tom Robinson, “An impressive debut” - Folking) with their songs featured on BBC 6Music & Radio 3 playlists.
Ben and Dom are experienced choir leaders and community musicians. Core to this collaboration is sharing their love of group singing and encouraging others to join their voices together in harmony. Their busy workshop schedule includes running the Cambridge Festival choir, courses at Halsway Manor and collaborating with choirs around the UK.
