After the huge success of the first live performance of “Reality Checkpoint” at the July 5th Big Weekend Mainstage launch for Cycle of Songs in Cambridge, it was excellent timing for the acclaimed choir, ‘The Dowsing Sound Collective’ to perform their Cycle of Songs piece at their very next gig at the Apex Concert Hall in Bury St Edmunds, on Sunday 13th July. The composer and leader of the choir Andrea Cockerton says that the choir has been described as an “harmonic phenomenon bursting onto the scene like a firecracker”. At the Apex, we’ve heard from choir members that the entire audience was rocking to the song. Therefore, it was great to learn that both the singers and the audiences really enjoyed the performance of the piece called “Reality Checkpoint” which is the first number on the app album for Cycle of Songs.

Andrea Cockerton shared her reflections of their journey recording and composing and leading the Dowsing Sound Collective with Helen Weinstein, Creative Director and Producer of the Cycle of Songs: “We were really impressed with the end result, and had a lot of fun working with you on the Dowsing track – and performing it at the Big Weekend. Thank you very much for the opportunity to work with you on this – the choir enjoyed it immensely too which is great, and when we performed it in the Apex, it went down a treat there too! “
