The Buzztones are a UK-based a cappella group formed in 2011. They were finalists of the 2013 View from The Shard singing competition and debuted at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with their sell-out show 'Nevermind the Buzztones' in 2013. They returned to the Fringe with a new show, Buzzology, in August 2015.
The group were originally founded as a break-away group from London male chorus, Eschoir. Their musical output is predominantly made up of 'pop' covers and 'mash-ups' of songs by UK and US-charting artists.
Hailing from London, The Buzztones have performed at the BBC's Pink Tent, also headlining The Bedford, Balham with sell-out shows in 2012, 2013 & 2015. They performed the anthems at the England vs Wales Rugby World Cup match held at Twickenham Stadium on 26th September, 2015.
