Flying Pickets

In the organizer's words:

16th Kassel JazzFrühling
Theaterstübchen goes astray

Their new "40th ANNIVERSARY TOUR" for 2023/24 is an electrifying celebration of the "best of" their first four decades of top-class a cappella music.
In 1983, their huge worldwide hit "Only You" became the first a cappella song to reach number one, and the FLYING PICKETS have been the best-known a cappella group in Europe ever since.
Forget your preconceptions, the FLYING PICKETS are no choirboys - their new live show is a unique, world-class experience! They create a dynamic, ever-changing sound, sometimes bombastic rock'n'roll, sometimes smooth pop, then soulful or funky and then suddenly soft and intimate.... Their musical expertise satisfies every mood and taste. With their amazing voices, a twinkle in their eye and a lush dash of very British humor, they look back at some rarely heard classic songs from their early days and also pack in plenty of fan favorites from the 1980s and 90s like "Englishman in New York" and "Call Me Al"; right up to their latest album "Only Human" with tracks like "Love Runs Out" and "Castle On The Hill" ... until they finally say goodbye with the song that started the party in the first place, "Only You".
The FLYING PICKETS 40th ANNIVERSARY TOUR is a phenomenal, exclusively live, high-energy experience that you shouldn't miss ... come and celebrate with us!
