Men In Suits specialises in uninvited appearances in unexpected places at unscheduled times singing inappropriate songs to unsuspecting audiences.

A band of brothers – many in number, grey of hair and long of tooth.. Donating what precious little free time they have to vibrate the air in (sometimes) pleasant ways to surprise, delight, and often challenge audiences.

Equal parts musical Men‘s Shed, mid-week drinking club, and new world illuminati, these are incredibly important men, and they’re in a hurry do go do something equally important.

A regular meeting, a rejuvenating stretch, a relaxing sigh, and a deep breath. Men In Suits make a commitment to regularly making strange noises together – for both the health and enjoyment of their members, and the amusement and elation of the general public.

Men in Suits sing a range of original and cover songs, exploring the complex world of corporate masculinity. At least once a week they make a commitment to sing together, drink together, laugh together, and improve together.
