The Oxford Gargoyles

Really enjoyed this performance by The Oxford Gargoyles. The singers sang with enthusiasm and heart. The choreography was fun and it was great to see everyone enjoying performing together. Definitely recommend!

A fantastic performance today from The Oxford Gargoyles who combine excellent musicianship with vocal mastery, slick choreography and wonderful stage presence. It was a really uplifting hour of music that went by in a flash, what talent!

Absolutely brilliant ‘MUST SEE’ 5***** show! Flawless a cappella jazz vocals with stylish choreography and stunning arrangements. I particularly loved ‘She’s leaving home’, ‘Gold’ and ‘Chilli Con Carne’. Wonderful way to start the day!

I love a capella and for many years ensured that at least one a capella group formed part of my Fringe plan. However, after one too many beat-boxing heavy show full of music that I didn’t know I was going to give it a miss this year.

I’m so pleased that The Oxford Gargoyles Fringe ad promoted their classic content and that I gave them a go.

The apparently strange sartorial choice of socked-feet meant that there was no clumping about the stage to detract from their fabulous singing. Great musical choices - I particularly loved Gold and Chilli Con Carne.

Thanks Gargoyles.

Running between shows in Bristo Square, a debonair young lad in suit and tie handed me a flyer saying "this is my last one". Acapella singing, although I love it, wasn't on my Fringe agenda but I decided this was fate and bought a ticket. What a good choice! I loved their précision, original arrangements, synergy and joy. You will walk out with your feet not touching the ground and a song in your heart. And...a recipe! Go see them, a wonderful way to start the day.

Great fun! Excellent, All members super talented!
The Gargoyles will put a smile on your face! Has made us SMILE for the entire performance the last 2 years we’ve seen them!

Energetic, fun, lively and entertaining - and those voices, just pure and silky smooth. Every single number sung was a joyous experience. One not to be missed, we loved it!

Brilliant. Great music. Great choreography. Fun tunes. Worth every minute.

Gorgeous and stylish, an absolutely mesmerising performance of scats and vocal jazz. Definitely worth a listen for jazz and a cappella enthusiasts alike.

This group are at fringe every year but once a year is not enough they are extremely talented, entertaining, charismatic and charming the audience have just as much fun as the group seem to have on stage. Their energy and love for the music they are performing is infectious definately worth the ticket price!

An easy-listening show to lift the spirits. Quality entertainment.

Saw their first show on Monday but you wouldn’t know! Smooth blend of the voices, nicely paced & balanced program for a lunchtime show. Imaginative use of the Intimate venue with good choreo. Familiar tunes such as Animal Spirits were slick, Chilli con Carne cheeky & comedic, and a couple of super new arrangements. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely brilliant a capella show. Grab a ticket while you have the chance. Saw them several years ago, loved it and the current crop are even better...

Not to be missed. Really enjoyed the Gargoyles. Joyful from start to finish. Quirky, confident and sassy in equal measure and oozing talent from a loveable bunch of excellent singers and performers.

Brilliant show, went with no expectations and kame out happy and smiling. Singing great made by fantastic choreography and wonderful arrangement. Top draw. Thoroughly recommend

Impeccable.
Professional vocals offered to the audience by an ensemble of lovable individual talents. The set moves seamlessly between silly and soulful.
But this isn’t the ba ba doo naps you might associate with jazz a capella. These arrangements provide a fresh and imaginative take on timeless jazz (and sometimes other) classics.

A quintessential contribution to the fringe.

Musically talented group. Good blend of voices. Highly recommended. Brilliant.

Absolutely joyful show! Musically it was brilliant and also so much fun - would recommend to all.

The energy, skill, and their sheer delight at performing was special to watch and the audience couldn't help but be enthralled.

I particularly like Animal Spirits.

This is a 'MUST SEE' Fringe venue ......you'll be missing something special otherwise.
