The Sons of Pitches

In 2015, they became the first winners of BBC2’s The Naked Choir hosted by Gareth Malone. With over three million online video hits and a growing international reputation, The Sons, have “given a cappella a kick up the backside”. Since their formation in 2010, the group, which is made up of Joe Novelli, Joe Hinds, Joe Belham, Josh Mallett and Midé Naike have captivated audiences with highly creative vocal gymnastics and a programme of inventive pop covers, original numbers, and entertaining improvised songs. The group have performed at both public and private engagements with previous clients including Microsoft, Nokia and the NFL, and headline performances at the NEC Birmingham, Vale Fest, and the Hong Kong International A Cappella Festival, together with a sell-out debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Sons Of Pitches have also appeared on Sing – Ultimate Acapella, which was one of Sky One’s exciting new entertainment series. Hosted by Cat Deeley, the group was the house band appearing in all the episodes. They also helped host and organise a Guinness Record for the largest ever-singing lesson in the world, by arranging, teaching, and recording a song with over 7000 people in one place.
