Retrophonix
A Cappella
Wednesday - Weekly - Term Time
2026-27
7.30pm-9pm
Heath URC Community Lounge,
Free School Lane, Halifax
This smaller ensemble launched in spring 2026 is designed for those singers that want to take their ensemble skills to the next level. With 'Pitch Perfect' style arrangements, a cappella is an awesome and challenging style! Currently open to female voices due to existing arrangement but male voices are most welcome to register interest and we could grow to a mixed ensemble!

🎶 Want to join Retrophonix A Cappella? Here's how to audition...
1. Pop Song – Pick any pop song you like and record yourself singing a verse and chorus a cappella (no instruments). This shows us how well you stay in key!
2. Harmony Exercise – See the short three-part harmony exercise below with audio guides. Pick one part to learn (scroll A/B/C), then record yourself singing it with the track that’s missing your part. This shows how you blend with others.
Send It In – Submit both recordings (doesn't need to be hi-tech, a phone recording is fine) along with your name and contact info.
Can’t wait to hear your voice and see how you fit into Retrophonix!
