Velvet Fist is a group of a cappella singers who have been making music together for over 25 years. We aim to bring a fresh approach to politics, combining an exciting and creative sound with intimacy, warmth and humour. The members of Velvet Fist are feminist and socialist and have come together through political activity to find a voice in music. We sing of struggle, liberation, peace and equality. Velvet Fist performs regularly and previous gigs have included performances at the re-opening of London’s Royal Festival Hall, the 150th birthday of the National Portrait Gallery, Tony Benn’s 70th Birthday Party in the House of Commons, Oliver Tambo’s memorial service with the ANC choir, a performance on BBC Radio 4 of Graham Knight's haunting arrangement of the Red Flag and supporting Holly Near at the Raise Your Banners festival of political song in Sheffield. We've made 4 albums – Green And Purple, The Gloves Are Off, Pulling No Punches and Everything Can Be Changed. Velvet Fist is available to sing at private and organisational events (email for further info). = NEWS = Velvet Fist is looking for new members, especially tenors and basses (women).
