Lizzie Maughan

Having previously sung against ItS in competitions with a cappella trio Make Do & Mend alongside past ItS hero Marianne, Lizzie decided that if she couldn’t beat ’em, joining ’em would be infinitely more fun! When not singing with the smoky crew, Lizzie can be found in ENT surgery/research (and happily dispenses vocal advice for free within the ItS family!).

Reb Barrantes

Introducing Reb Barrantes “The Rhythmic Ruler”, the woman who brings the heat to the stage with her electrifying moves. As the choreographer of her a cappella group, she’s always got the rhythm, and she’s not afraid to use it. But she’s not just a dancing queen, she’s also a beauty pageant winner, having taken the crown in Valencia. With her stunning voice and mesmerizing moves, Reb is a triple threat that’s always in high demand. So whether she’s conducting a chorus, ruling the dance floor, or striking a pose on the beauty pageant stage, Reb is always the centre of attention and a crowd-pleaser. And if you’re looking for a show-stopping performance, just follow the beat to Reb’s feet.

Chris Tortise-Crawford

A jack of all trades and master of none, Chris does many things. After training as a physiotherapist, he moved to London to sing and work in media. Now he fills his time doing very little, yet always seems to be busy. He screams tenor in the group, and is currently MD of In the Smoke, much to the chagrin of the rest of the members.

Freddie Tibbs

Freddie started his a cappella career as a founding member of the A CapelLads of Cardiff University and when he’s not posing for the camera to get the most out of a good hair day, he spends his days, nights, evenings and weekends doctoring in A&E in South London, a job that is as rewarding as it is all consuming. In the spare few moments he manages to find between shifts, Freddie enjoys silversmithing, wood working, and some light Pantomime Daming…when he’s not rehearsing and performing with In the Smoke that is.

James Jenkins

James normally has a beard, but you might recognise him in this photo from his year 8 school picture. James has excellent vocal credentials, most impressively The King’s Men of King’s College, Cambridge. James is the current Chairman of ItS and uses his charm and grace to guide the group as it navigates the modern soundscape of London.

James Tortise-Crawford

James has probably been to about 400 ItS rehearsals, as an on-and-off Smokie since the beginning, having tried and failed to leave twice (so far). He works across arts, culture and higher education and dreams of singing a Rufus Wainwright tribute gig.

Anna Trocme-Latter

A seasoned choral and stage performer, Anna is loving every minute of her relatively new foray into the world of a cappella. In her spare time, Anna works as a digital project manager and also enjoys sarcasm, eating, daydreaming, all manner of linguistic geekery, occasional running, anything ridiculous, and Microsoft Excel.
