“The chorus started its life in October 2015 when Zoe Peate, their musical director, together with three experienced singers, decided to set up their own chorus and bring together a group of singers who not only shared their musical values but, most importantly, wanted to perform and entertain an audience to the highest standard possible.

“Vocal Fusion Acapella now with 20 singers, drawn from all parts of Sussex, are passionate about their singing and about using their voices to make great harmony, fabulous ringing chords and making the music come alive for their audience.

“Their fabulous repertoire currently encompasses a broad range of great 20th-century American classics including Stepping Out With My Baby, Tonight Tonight, The Way you Look Tonight, The Nearness of You, I Can’t Give You Anything But Love Baby, If I had my Way through spirituals like Deep River to more modern pieces performed by singers like Billy Joel (The Longest Time), The Beatles (Blackbird and In My Life) and Queen (Crazy Little Thing Called Love”

Zoe Peate said: “Whilst we have steadily grown in numbers and put together an exciting repertoire of music, good performances are only ever achieved through a mixture of hard work, regular rehearsal, vocal coaching and a willingness to entertain an audience.
