About The Blue Apple Singers

The Blue Apple Singers have sentiment as their forte and enough charm and heart to ride rough-shod over any cynic. This unique troupe of songsters shine new light on songs you thought you knew and also bring new work to fresh audiences. Whatever the weather, they bring sunshine to any festival, and it is impossible to watch them without smiling, joining in and having any wavering faith in humanity utterly restored!
