At first glance the brightly attired ladies grouped around the microphones perhaps resembled a hen party about to murder some karaoke; once they broke into their first number, though, it became clear these were pros.

deciBelle were a spirited yet well-disciplined group, with tight musical arrangement that made use of the large number of diverse voices.

Alongside well-known hits like 'Sweet Dreams', there was country singing from Shreeve n' Shaw and comedy songs from The Cocktail Party, including a delightful song about neighbour envy written by the group's singer/guitarist.

deciBelle's version of Basement Jaxx's Good Luck' was probably the highlight, with well-simulated guitar sounds, of what was a well-planned evening of songs from a large group of lively and talented performers.
