PENTATONIX – MANCHESTER ACADEMY – SUNDAY 3 MAY 2015
There are no words to describe just how fabulously talented this 5 piece accapella group actually is.
They are relatively new on the scene, winning
America’s Sing Off 2 years ago, then posting their music on You-Tube –
(start off with their “Evolution of Music” – you won’t regret it!)
The group consist of Avi (yes he is!!), Scott,
Mitch, Kirstie & Kevin whose voices are a perfect blend of harmonies
most of us only dream of.
Kevin is the Beatboxer – who knew that the human
voice can produce drum & bass sound that makes you think, “This guy
ain't human!!”
He also played a Cello Solo with his own “drum” accompaniment.
Their live performances far outweigh their
recordings as they have grown in confidence (since I saw them last year
at the M.A.), and their stage presentation has grown with them.
There are no gimmicks, nothing cheap or tacky - and they're nothing like today's plastic manufactured pop-talent who can't sing
without their pre-recorded backing track to mime to.
Almost 2 hours of live singing to 3,000 Pentaholix fans - all ages ranging from 10 year olds….. to erm 51+
9.5 out of 10 for this one.
My only criticism is the venue – no seating – otherwise they would have the perfect 10.
Must wrap up this review as I want to be first in
the queue for “Pitch Perfect 2” as the Pentatonix have a cameo
appearance….PTX PTX PTX!
