Local Resident Involved in Pitch Battle

A new BBC talent contest featuring different vocal groups

A local resident, Katy, is part of the group Vocally Bespoke which was chosen out of 200 others for the first episode of the new BBC 1 Show Pitch Battle.

The six part show will be broadcast for the next six weeks on Saturday nights and Katy's group appeared in the first one (if you missed it you can view on I Player).

Thirty choirs and singing groups will be battling it out for a grand prize of £50,000 over six episodes. Mel Giedroyc, who hosted the Great British Bake Off, will be presenting the show.
The competition will be judged by choirmaster Gareth Malone, who's best known for The Choir series, where he formed choirs from unusual groups of people. He'll be joined by American singer Kelis, with a third guest judge coming along each week.

Katy has lived in Chiswick for over 6 years.

The group Vocally Bespoke was originally forged by four singers who wanted to work for and create a contemporary choir with high energy, a popular line up of songs and the ability to wow any audience with its professionalism and style.

Over the last year or so the group has organically grown in number and through the original four member’s contacts the 24 piece line up is made up of professional singers from across the UK music scene and London’s West End.

As well as being a member of Vocally Bespoke, Katy is involved in running a choir which performs at many local events.
