Raising Eye Brows since 2009

Blokes Notes have been inflicting their vocal prowess on audiences willing and unwilling throughout the Hastings/Camden Haven areas centred on Port Macquarie, NSW and beyond since 2009. Responses have varied from shock to rapture, but they are yet to face indifference.
A Blokes performance may make you whimsical, nostalgic, inspired, furious, embarrassed or completely at a loss; possibly all in the same song. If you enjoy acapella singing in the base clef, have a secret thing for beards or simply revel in the spectacle of a bunch of blokes all trying to march with the same foot first, then you should come along. The men of Blokes Notes come from all walks of life. They are drawn together for a weekly rite of song and camaraderie. The Blokes steal songs from any genre that takes their fancy, sometimes singing them in their original form but more often than not they are arranged (manipulated/reworked/mangled) to suit their own irreverent, irrelevant, irrational, irresponsible style. No genre is off limits; Gospel, Georgian, Gregorian, Gothic. They even sing material from genres that don't start with G. We welcome new members any time with few criteria; they should be able to grow a beard (if they wanted to.) Musical experience is not required, but may be helpful. We are an audition free zone. If you’re a bloke who’s ready to leave the safety of singing in the shower, we’re looking for you. For more information contact realmensinging@gmail.com |
