In this dark, cold twilight Brexit time there’s nothing so heartwarming as the wonderful harmonies of the human singing voice. Hove-based choirs Resound and the Rebelles were at the top of their game last night (December 14) with a wonderful evening of evergreen classics – either winter and Christmas songs but also some classics from other music genres.
True to their stage name, the nine female voices that make up this Brighton singing group, are combined to fight back against the useless, disloyal and – in this show – absent men of the world. The members have gathered up for a committee meeting upstairs at the Rialto Theatre, and in between reading adverts, lonely hearts letters and looking at ridiculously thin models in their women’s magazines, they sing a wide variety of compositions by the likes of Bacharach, Abba and Schubert.
