These guys are amazing…by far the best acapella group I’ve heard. I was blown away by their energy, professionalism and talent…they had me singing in my seat and wanting to get up and dance with them on stage!! Amazing arrangements of lots of well known songs…loads for everyone of every age to enjoy.

Just the best A Cappella you will see anywhere! Every single one of this group leaves their heart and soul on the stage. They are so together and so talented as they take you through musical decades. I saw the show twice and wish I could see it again! If you have the chance to catch their last show - absolutely do!

If you only see one a cappella show at the Fringe, Northern Lights is the group to see - best in the UK by far.

1 hour of absolute bangers, brilliantly arranged, beautifully sung, amazing vocals, phenomenal beatbox and cool choreography.

So good I saw them twice - highly, highly recommended. Fantastic show and superb performance !

Fantastic a capella group with perfect intonation, amazing choreography and emotion and such togetherness and a genuine feeling of bonding between singers. Each one a huge talent and together just an amazing sound and show. I was in tears and in disbelief about how good it was. I loved it so much I might come again this week just to savour it again!

Just about picked my jaw up off the floor in time to write this review! If you have yet to see this show, you are in for a treat. Outstanding talent all-round - arrangements, choreo, lighting, sound, and, of course, phenomenal singing. Special mention to the beatboxer, who genuinely blew me away. Incredible performance - not one to miss.

Another amazing A Cappella show from Northern Lights. If you choose one A Cappella show to see, I suggest it should be this one. West End beckons for some of these young people.

Wonderfully slick and polished, this show has all the ingredients for a great afternoon's entertainment. With a fabulous array of harmonies, vocal ranges and incredible solos, ‘SING IT!’ is a musical treat that will captivate from beginning to end. If you want to see college a capella at its very best you must see Northern Lights. Do not miss it!

So glad that I was handed a flyer for this show! An incredible performance by all, but my personal best bits were the Whitney and Adele numbers, and the beatbox guy is incredible! Well worth seeing!
