THE Sons of Pitches are on the road again taking audiences on a global a cappella expedition through music.

The award-winning vocal group's Around The World show plays The Forum at Barrow on Friday, November 1 (7.30pm) performing tunes from the United States to Sweden, Iceland to Japan and Australia to Colombia, getting their vocal chords around multiple languages, numerous styles of music and plenty of hits by some of the planet's biggest artists.

Since their formation in 2010, the Sons of Pitches, which is made up of Joe Novelli, Joe Hinds, Joe Belham, Josh Mallett and Midé Naike, have established themselves as one of the premiere vocal groups working in the UK.

They shot to fame in November 2015 when they were crowned winners of the BBC2 singing contest The Naked Choir, hosted by Gareth Malone, as their combination of soaring solos, impeccable harmonies and stunning beatboxing - mixed with a sizeable dose of comedy - captivated the viewing public's imagination.

With a programme of inventive pop covers, original numbers and entertaining improvised songs, the Sons of Pitches have performed at both public and private engagements and headlined performances far and wide, together with a sell-out debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In addition, the Sons completed three hugely successful headline UK tours throughout 2016 and 2017, performing 72 shows to more than 60,000 fans.

Most recently, they starred as the house band on Sky1's TV entertainment series Sing: Ultimate A Cappella, presented by Cat Deeley, who posted a picture of her with the band with the caption 'My favourite guys in the whole wide world.'
