Out of the Blue

Having looked through so many reviews of Out of the Blue we were all looking forward to seeing them on Saturday afternoon. They certainly didn't disappoint.
There's not many words / phrases / comments to add that haven't already been said about OOTB; awesome, breath-taking, tight harmonies, superb, excellence etc etc.
These set of singers are possibly the best acapella singers going. Can't wait to see them again.

Brilliant! As always! We add OOTB to our must see shows list every year, must have seen them for the last 6 or 7 years now and they are always great. This years show seemed somehow even better. Great singing, some new songs (and one old favourite) all delivered with a large sprinkling of camp. What better way to spend a cold rainy afternoon in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this to all.

If you are expecting a contemporary male voice group in the style of Il Divo but bigger, you won’t be disappointed as this is just as polished but in a very boisterous, we-defy-you-not to-have-fun kind of infectious singing for joy - mainly pop music classics. If you’ve been feeling a bit low recently, this show is sure to raise your spirits. Fast paced and physical, the performers won’t let you to do anything but beat time to the rhythm or enjoy the varied vocal offerings from the over the top camp to the rather haunting Eagles’ song Desperado and ‘though no Freddie Mercury, the singer of ‘I want to break free’ offers a very convincing version of it. If one small criticism is allowed, the excessive volume actually detracts from the music as you can no longer ‘hear’ the lyrics but just noise.

This is my third year seeing Out of the Blue at the Edinburgh Fringe. Once again fabulous show with amazing voices and harmonies. Tunes to appeal to all audiences. One small criticism need to work on transitions as dead air made the show a bit clunky.
If you love music go see this show!!

Today's show was just what I needed. Congratulations on another splendid Edinburgh Fringe.

What a talented and charismatic bunch of lads! Fantastic show that showed off group and individual skills. Well done to you all ....money and time well spent

Great voices, music and very entertaining. Do yourself a favour and step into a world where everything is musical and fun.

What a fantastic show! Great voices, wow-choreographed and well: see/hear for yourselves: just tremendously great entertainment!

You can easily tell why this show is a firm favourite and people return to see it year after year. Great skill, polished performance, amazing voices. And also a refreshing change to watch some good wholesome entertainment that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside at the end!

Absolutely fantastic ! Incredible singing and great choreography blended together in a fast moving, well produced and hugely entertaining show. The room was alive with the energy and sound of this wonderful group. Cannot recommend them enough - just get a ticket if you can !

The Best Show I've seen at the Fringe this year.

Potentially the happiest hour of my life. The first time I’ve ever seen A Cappella live and I loved every second. The song choices were fantastic, flawless harmonies and very charismatic characters on stage. I now have 3 CD’s and have spent all afternoon singing their songs. BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!

Amazing! High energy and so talented! Came out with a big smile on my face. I definitely recommend seeing these guys!!

Oh dear, I'm going to be a grouch when everyone loves this show. Undeniably talented, but guys, just tone it down sometimes. A show, any show, needs light and shade, and all the unbelievably complex and showy harmonies, plus the constant energetic bopping about are just too much. At the start of Rocket Man, I thought we were onto a winner, pared right down and showcasing the fabulous voice of the guy singing lead - but no, soon we were off again, distracting from the beauty of the song. I came out exhausted. Really talented group, but sometimes less is more.

Just seen the show. Really great vocals and sound from a diverse vocal group. Cheesy in part, but they stay on the right side of it as the performances are all natural and individual, and they have plenty of humour and fun in their delivery. Chereography is great - polished but still relaxed with each performer doing it their way, whether that be high camp, slightly nerdy or boy band! They come across as a nice and modest bunch which adds to their charm. The vocals are incredibly strong across the board, but the standout soloist for me was the guy who sang “Desperado”. We thought the beatbox guy was really impressive.

Absolutely fabulous! Tremendous energy and skilfully performed by a wonderful group of talented people. Great song choices, beautifully presented and backed by an incredible beatboxer! Not to be missed!

An hour of pure, unadulterated joy and fun all wrapped up in a slick production. We couldn't resist the cd on the way out!

I have seen Out of the Blue perform many times, and they never disappoint. Their voices blend beautifully and they are hilarious as well. The show is incredibly fun for all! I will definitely go again. Highly recommend!

Wow. What a show. Great voices beautifully blended. And funny, too.

First time seeing this show. Absolutely brilliant !

First time seeing this group. Great show. Would definitely go again.

I am a total groupie for Out of the Blue! I have seen them every time we come to the Fringe, since the Shakira days. They never disappoint. The singing is always superb, and the choreography spot on. I love seeing the new talent as the line-up changes.
They are one of my "go to" groups on You-tube to de-stress!
I have stocked up on CDs to play in the car.
My 88 year old Mom loved them too!

Fabulous!! Great energy and stunning vocals! Highly, highly recommend!! Such talent

Amazing! Loved every second. They look like they’re having so much fun! LOVED the tall blonde guy, he’s everything I aspire to be

Fun, engaging and very charismatic.

Talented. Enjoyable. Uplifting. A worthy experience.

Outstanding! Saw them last year and if anything they were better this year. If you think a capella isn't for you try these guys, they will change your mind I am sure.

Our 12th year in a row to see OOTB and they never fail to impress! Entertaining, stunning vocals and great choreography - well done on another fantastic show!

What's all this nonsense about the show lacking a show stopper? Were you not listening to their rendition of Rocket Man? PHENOMENAL. An awesome performance. Bring it on boys!

Again an excellent performance. Had a good range of songs for the audience to enjoy rather than just the typical boy band music. A show stopper for the finale was sadly missing. But a very enjoyable show with a couple of very talented young men, especially the tall blond lad, so much character. A standing ovation at the preview show.

This was our second time seeing out of the blue. My fiancee has a few of their CDs and is a fan. It was an enjoyable show, but we felt they were better a few years ago when we first saw them. There was a bit too much going on this time for us that detracted from their singing, wish is always amazing.

We still enjoyed it, and i certainly wouldn't advise anyone not to give it a try, but we were a little let down by it this time.

We are long time fans and were thrilled to see Out of the Blue in their 2018 show. The high energy performance is amazing from start to finish, as the guys sing their hearts out in every song. We loved it so much that we saw it twice. They also take time after each show to meet with audience members. This show is not to be missed, and is sure to brighten up your time at the Fringe! Definitely a 5 star experience!

Another year, another fantastic performance. Superb non stop entertainment. Lots of new songs, Beat Box, and of course Winowah what a brilliantly performed number this year. Thankyou all, my wife and I are looking forward to 2019 already.

Always amazing quality. Fantastic ensemble effort - loved how all the personalities came through and the vocals are slick and charming. I felt it lacked a big showstopper but that is a challenge when every song is so good.

Loved it !!! I see them every year at the festival and they never fail to impress. They are brilliant every year, and I was smiling all the way through the show. All ages as well !!!
Looking forward to next year already !!

Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN. really enjoyed the enthousiasm! Put a huge smile on my face

Fantastic show, have been a huge fan of these guys for years and seeing them perform live for the first time was incredible! Was stood next to some people in the queue who weren’t too sure if it was going to be their thing, saw them at the end and they were so impressed! Would highly recommend seeing these guys, all so genuinely lovely to meet you and take pictures at the end of the performance. 5 stars!

We went to this show yesterday - what an absolutely uplifting experience. I can't recommend this group highly enough. Such a fantastic hour. When it was announced that they were about to do their last song I felt like they had only been performing for 20 minutes. I could have stayed and listened to them all night. We bought 3 of their cds and sang along as we drove all the way back to Liverpool last night. Thanks to that lovely group of talented young men their wonderful charity continues to benefit. Great, great show and one not to be missed.

Very enjoyable, fast moving, a variety of songs to suit all ages. Their signature tune: "The lion sleeps tonight", is always entertaining.

My 12th year of seeing them...
This year they still have a great impact (sound, choreography, humour), but poor song selection, too much reverb and dodgy beatbox solo prevented full enjoyment.

This fantastic group of young men bring huge talent, energy with both their singing and dance as well as dashes of comedy thrown in for good measure, definitely worth watching!

Absolutely brilliant! First of three shows we’re attending today to celebrate my birthday, and what a great start to our day! Highly recommend this talented, slick, high energy performance! 5 stars

I had the most wonderful time at the show. The energy, enthusiasm, sound and comedy were first class. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys being uplifted.

A group of 13 young man singing, dancing and entertaining the audience in a wonderful way. One hour spent in the best of the ways. They manage to study and at the same time follow the road of acapella music. As soon as the show finished they waited the audience at the exit of the theatre collecting donations, selling their CDs and being available for questions and pictures.
A group that goes abroad the ‘common’, i suggest anyone to go and listen to them and i both hope to see them soon.. great job really, i’m so jealous of your talents

Off to a flying start with an absolutely superb show today! Thanks guys! :-)
