The Fifth House

The Fifth House is a five-piece group from Sydney.  They present a unique blend of world a cappella music with a jazz texture and the odd instrument thrown in for good measure.  Formed in 2002, they soon released their first recording “Presents from the Fifth House”.

The group has had a big break and has reformed with a great new line up including Samantha Fiddes, Sara Brown, Linda Knight, Gary Smith and Frank Zeichner.  Expect some tight harmonies and the occasional quirky arrangement.
