There were 12 fellow ex SWINGLES in the audience at my 2nd Crazy Coqs gig in December.
Unrehearsed & for old times sake we sang Ward Swingle’s magnificent arrangement of Bach’s ‘little’ fugue ( in E minor)
8 Years have passed ...
A wonderful tribute by the current Swingle Singers:
The Swingles La Cathédrale Engloutie by C. Debussy Featuring spoken word by Ward Swingle and John Taylor on Piano Arranged by Tom Bullard, adapted by The Swingles This piece has become synonymous with our memory of Ward. We thought, on the anniversary of his death, that we'd share it with you.
Remembering Ward

On the 19th of September, 2015, 2 days before what would have been Ward Swingle's 88th birthday, 43 current and former Swingle Singers, took to the stage at the Mermaid Theatre in London, to perform a variety his arrangements. It was an amazing evening, filled with joy, tears and of course phenomenal music performed by exceptional singers.
