The Hummingbirds: Who we are
Welcome to The Hummingbirds website!
We are an all-female a cappella group from the University of St Andrews who just celebrated our ten year anniversary!! Founded in 2006, we sing songs from artists like Alt-J to Adele, Florence and the Machine to Bruce Springsteen - we love to perform any and every kind of music!! Speaking of performing, did anyone say AWARD-WINNING dancing? We won best choreography at the Scottish A Cappella Championships in 2015, and we love to compete as often as we can.
2016 was also a year of firsts for us, as we performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the first time. This was more successful than we could ever have imagined, as not only did we have two sell-out shows (!!) but we also appeared on STV twice, including on their best of the festival programme!!
We hope you love this website as much as we've enjoyed creating it - please enjoy looking around and let us know if you would like to know more about us!
