Barbershop singers at Sunset Beach Club

"Viva"

Last Saturday evening, guests enjoying a meal in our Oasis Restaurant were treated to a somewhat different musical experience: an impromptu performance by the “Viva” quartet, four very talented singers who are members of SABS, the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers.

Gail, Barbara, Anthea and Lyn were enjoying a relaxing weekend break at Sunset Beach Club and whilst dining in the hotel’s restaurant, were invited by hotel entertainer, Tina Rose, to get up and sing for our guests. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Barbershop harmony, Gail and the rest of the “Viva” quartet sing a cappella; basically, it’s unaccompanied vocal music. No music, no instruments, just four fantastic voices each with a distinctive tone. Great fun to watch and even better to listen to!

The “Viva” quartet hope to visit Sunset Beach Club again soon; who knows, we might even be able to persuade them to put on a show for us! In the meantime, they will be busy preparing for their associations annual get together, suitable named “En Armonía” (In Harmony) which takes place in Murcia from the 8th to the 11th April.
