Sister Sadie - The Idea of North

[smokeyvolvo]

Great chart by Ölle Palmkvist.

[Xadina1]

amazing...

[BowkleySarah]

Wow!!!!!!!

[danfox54321]

This band is sooooo good! Did the producers deliberately hose the audio quality to make me buy the CD?

[morrla1377]

Fab. Gives me goosebumps!

[boblinux123]

such a high quality ! very surprising !

[leandraberlin]

unbelievable!!!!

[bixntram]

Listened to this again. Just incredible!

[Raida7]

God these guys were awesome in concert! So entertaining, and great songs!

Can't wait for the Christmas concert at the Powerhouse :D

[salami92]

I love that there is always so much going on in their songs, there's so much to listen to, yet it's only voices! It's so fun to listen to :)

[Menofmaz]

omg which one of them has been replaced??? an when/? plz comment me on my home page not here

[liamjames07]

my teacher wrote this piece for them when they were back in school!

[TheBackstinater09]

your teacher was horace silver? =)

nah, i'm just playing...i assume you're referring to this particular arrangement...which is awesome!

[ddscott12]

So, you do know that they went to different schools, only formed at the ANU School of Music, in particular having no connection with each other at school, and do all their own arrangements except for an occasional guest arrangement by James Morrison, yeah?

[br00ser]

I have met them and worked with them and they are the most amazing people to meet...so friendly, easy going people and most importantly most talent act i have seen preform live, a memory i won't trade in for the world...

[greati9]

the equipment there wasn't the best because there is a lot of feed back on the mics.

[mazkorb]

i've worked with them!!! woop

[BendoGecko]

hey me too, they're so cool.

they've replaced their soprano since this video though.

[gr8testjojofan]

Same! I had a workshop with them today and I'm going to be singing with them at my school's choral concert. They are absolutely amazing! Except the two girls are different now. The alto is now Naomi Crellin and Sally Cameron. They're still awesome tho

[broogs]

yea i sung with them in a harmony spectacular concert...was incredible

[noravroni]

I simply love them! It´s so hard to sing with such precise harmony and they perform so difficult arrangements... sigh.

The most saddest fact is, that the soprano, Trish Delaney-Brown, has left the group after performing and writing songs for them for 15 years!!! She has such an unusual voice and gave the sound of the ensemble a very special touch. Right now they give some Farewell-Concerts for Trish in Australia and introduce their new soprano, who unfortunately is not half as special as Trish.

[backshin]

This is just brilliant, I'm now planning to go to AUS to see them, seriously, lovely!!

[trashligirl]

it's totally worth spending the money to come. Aside from sounding so in unison and precise that way, they're also really enchanting to watch and hysterical. The performance is one of a kind to see.

[SoDingMop]

These guys are brilliant, and it's really quite daunting to perform after them, trust me on this.

[JayH1992]

absolutely ive done the same things and its nerve racking to try and be better but its quite difficult

[tamzelity]

those who don't think they're great don't know how to sing, they don't know how hard to do scat singing and don't know how hard to create such harmonization...

The Idea of North is amazing! Two thumbs up!

[prostojazz]

@tamzelity, I agree with you. People who write ".....sounds awfully...."are not musicians and definitely are not singers. Do not pay attention. Idea of North you are great singers!!!!!

[SoDingMop]

Wow. What a complex and insightful comment into the inner mind of bixntram. I really love reading comments that make me think, and this, I'm sad to say, doesn't cut it. Unless, of course, you were discribing your own comment style?

[bixntram]

LOL, SoDingMop, let me enlighten you. In the jazz scene, when you tell someone they're 'bad,' that means they're really, really good. Where have you been?

[timmysboi]

They are so awesome!

[LEGOFFMARTINEAU]

Well to answer questions about The Real Group : it's a swedish jazz band who sings things which are made by jazz bigbands. But they sing very funny original songs. that jsut a way to make you them know ! These both bands really deserve to be more famous !!

[GotPizazz]

I think, my friend, that you mean this is THE shit!!

so fucking awesome.

[kylewalmsley]

Can't WAIT till they hit the Brisbane Powerhouse! WEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[JayH1992]

omg i did a workshop with them they are SO awesome

[JenniferLTierney]

Absolutely amazing!! Cant wait to see you guys again soon one day!! Lets book out the piano bar for a sing again!! :) xx

[bigbirdd]

I am seeing them in under a month!!! yessssss

[turbolawnmower]

...sounds awfully lot like the GRP all-star arragement... its on YT, just look it up.

[ABCClassics]

except this is done entirely with voices - no other instruments

[LEGOFFMARTINEAU]

As good as the Real group!!

[GotPizazz]

[LEIonce]
