Gareth Wardle - Acoustic Guitar / Vocals Rachel Mercer - Violin / Percussion / Vocals Eugene Capper - Banjo / Vocals Callum Duggan - Double Bass / Vocals Evening Chorus began in early October 2009 in the bedroom of a terraced house in Cardiff. Two lifelong friends, a chance meeting and a university course-mate, all brought together by a love of tea, biscuits and folk music - decided to combine their own experience and influence and create something new. Early work on songs from previous musical projects gave the band an idea of their sound and potential - based around powerful vocal harmonies and inventive use of the instrumentation available to them. Their first release, 'Look Forward To The Day' is a simple live recording of three of the first tracks they had ready, released by the band in hand-made cases with self-designed artwork, and given away for free at the first few gigs. The band have already started to make an impression in Cardiff, being featured on transatlantic radio show The Waiting Room. Infusing hand-made CDs and merchandise with exciting yet thoughtful music and lively stage performance, Evening Chorus present themselves with an integrity and authenticity that belies the short time they have been together.
