As a few of us are huge fans of this enormously talented and versatile Australian a cappella group, I thought it might be worthwhile to have a thread devoted to them.

They formed in 1996 in Canberra and sing a vast range of music, from jazz to R & B, from pop to classical, from soul to gospel. The current line up is Sally Cameron (soprano), Naomi Crellin (alto), Nick Begbie (tenor) and Andrew Piper (bass). Naomi joined the group in 2002, replacing Meg Corson, and Sally joined the group in late 2007, replacing the founding soprano Trish Delaney-Brown who had left to have her first baby.

The Idea of North Home Page - Here you can view their discography, see clips of their concerts and join up to their mailing list to get advance notice of upcoming events and new CD & DVD releases.

Apart from being innovative musically, they are innovative technologically! I received advance notice yesterday that their concert tonight (August 9th 2008) at the Brisbane Powerhouse is being streamed live on the internet. You can register for free at The Music Page. This was a brilliant find as there is heaps of other stuff here including some other archival Idea of North stuff including a brilliant rendition of Down To The River at Trish's farewell concert plus many other classical, jazz and choral concerts. I've been listening to clips all day!

My advice? Give them a go. You will become hooked. They are enormously entertaining, as well as being musically sublime!

They really are incredible live, and very fun, especially if they don't have a band backing them up. I bagged all of their CDs when they performed in Renmark.

I watched the Powerhouse concert last night streamed live via The Music Page.com. It was brilliant and very funny. They actually had their dressing room on stage as well as a computer so you could see their preparation, warm-up and IM messages, requests and questions to them. They kept going over to the laptop to see what people were saying about them and messaging back. People watching on line were from Australia, Canada, USA, Germany, Holland, UK, Malaysia and Korea. It was great fun reading the comments. According to The Music Page staff, the concert will be edited and up on line for people to watch again by the end of the week. (BTW Mar, there are heaps of James Morrison concerts on the same site as well as other choral and jazz stuff! Thankyou TION for directing me to this brilliant and free site!)

I would love to sing their arrangements. My guitar version of Fragile is inspired by them but obviously, no four-part harmony. Which songs are you doing?

They haven't recorded either of them, but Both Sides Now should be on there next album.

I don't know what kind of 'heh' that is. I don't know if I'm being chastised or if you're just trying to work out what the hell Fred is rambling about this time...

On the upside, he kissed you, so you don't have to worry about the injustice of it all.
