The Noize Choir is a performance ensemble that was formed in 2011 by Newcastle based artists Lindsay Duncanson and Marek Gabrysch. It involves a loose collective of noise enthusiasts with a common desire to use the human voice free of the traditional restraints of typical choral settings, language or musical notation. Their work is based on a shared fascination with science, culture and landscape. They indulge in phenomenological explorations of museum collections, or imaginings of our geological past. Replicating and experimenting with the sound of machines or the natural world, Noize Choir continually find ways to push and pull the idea of what a choir can be. Noize Choir have composed and performed in French churches and on Austrian radio, at the Baltic Centre for contemporary arts, The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle Upon Tyne, and the Grade II listed Preston Bus station. 

The Sail Pattern offer up a raucous broadside of folk, encompassing original work, plus new arrangements of shanties and other traditional songs. We love playing live, and breathing new life into near forgotten songs!
	
We share a passion for folk music and have gigged relentlessly delivering energetic and memorable performances. With an ever increasing repertoire of home spun melodies and our own arrangements of traditional songs The Sail Pattern always put everything into our music, whether it's recording or our live shows.

The Sail Pattern sampler "Hold Fast" is now available at thesailpattern.bandcamp.com or for the full CD come see us at a gig and pick one up!
