These threads are great fun and then the uninformed get involved.
I don't know who PERFECT PITCH might be but his declaration that he has known us for many,many years is off the mark,in the least.The Claque sang together for the first time in 2006 and prior to that,never appeared as a rehearsed or cohesive group...some would say we still don't!
Our harmony structure is not complex,just different.We do not structurise songs in any fixed or set way of harmonies-we are just aware,as I'm sure many are,that you can leave the norm
and it takes no more effort to set a song by bending notes than it does to sing it in a more easily identifiable fashion.We do not look upon our songs as an intellectual exercise-we want to be as wild as possible in presentation!

May I also take the opportunity to say how much we value the new friendship of both Valmai and Bryan Creer,for whom we have the greatest regard.
