The Light Blues, August 1982

“The Light Blues — aptly described in the press recently as ‘six young men singing together with immense skill and versatility’ — come to the Craig for the first time on Saturday 7 August. Concerts and radio and TV appearances throughout Europe, in the USA and in Japan have established these former choral scholars of King’s College, Cambridge as a major entertainment force — a rapidly growing reputation consolidated by the success of their first LP last year, chosen by Gramophone magazine as one of the year’s best records. Comparisons with their great predecessors from the same background, The King’s Singers, are inevitable — and indeed, anyone who enjoys the older group will revel in The Light Blues too! Yet there’s no mistaking this newer ensemble’s sound, as you can hear in a programme which ranges from classics to jazz, and from the 1600s to 1982!”
