CONCERTS
Are you looking for acts for your public event? Would your AGM or Annual Dinner benefit from some entertainment over drinks? Maybe you just want to add a touch of musicality to your private function? BROC are available to book for concerts, fetes, festivals and fundraisers. Whatever the occasion, we can put together a suitable set-list for you!
As well as providing entertainment for our audiences, concerts are a great opportunity for our members to try out new repertoire and perform as soloists and small groups without having to audition, as well as feature in some show-stopping full company numbers.
In total, BROC has built a catalogue of over 200 different songs, and have performed everything from Broadway hits and Opera classics to Folk songs (with full band accompaniment!) and Disney favourites. We're always up for a challenge, so whatever your theme, we'll have something to fit! We also welcome suggestions or ideas including new compositions and arrangements. You can find a few of our previous concerts listed below.
If you're interested in hiring BROC for your event, please get in touch with our secretary, Philippa Cruxton, via broc.contact@gmail.com.
