Congratulations to Sharon who has passed her initial audition to become a trainee in record time! Not only that, but she's a whizz at baking too! Well done on both counts!

Congratulations to Selina who has passed her initial audition to become a trainee with Cheshire A Cappella!

It was a busy evening last night at chorus! Backbeat, who used to rehearse at Mottram Village Hall (and just happened to have a set of risers to sell to us) came to visit us, sing some songs, and say a farewell to their risers! Their MD Jane kindly presented Gill with a card and gift. And on the same evening, our Chair Hilary and MD Gill presented new members Helen and Katie with their official LABBS badges and letters.

Has it really been 2 years since you stepped through the doors And opened our eyes to what awards could be ours? Changes have been many (but all for the greater good) Those warm ups helped our vocal chords just like you said they would! We've been coached by the great and done recordings which we hate! But 'Hard work pays off' you said, and 'Just you wait' With new songs last convention and glittery dresses to boot Our 7 point score increase meant up the divisions we did shoo

Congratulations to two of our trainees Helen (Bass) and Katie (Tenor) pictured below with Chair Hilary and MD Gill, who successfully passed their auditions last night. We are very pleased to have you both on board!

After more than 15 years at our previous rehearsal venue, and with an increasing membership, we had outgrown our previous venue and were looking for a rehearsal space that better suited our requirements and aspirations. After some searching, we are delighted to announce that we have found such a place, and we will now be rehearsing every Wednesday evening at Mottram St Andrew Village Hall, Wilmslow Old Road, Mottram St Andrew, Macclesfield SK10 4QP, which is ideally situated

Congratulations to Laura, Diana, Abi and Therese who are pictured below with our Musical Director Gill. Well done ladies!

We had a fabulous day of coaching with the wonderfully inspirational David Sangster. So many notes to take away from the day and inwardly digest! Thank you David for a fantastic day!

Every chorus has a stalwart, and Barbara is most definitely ours! Barbara was presented with this lovely planter arrangement by our Chair Hilary to say thank you for stepping up and supporting her over the past few months and doing so much behind the scenes for our chorus. A big thank you from us all!

We had a fabulous joint afternoon tea party with Crystal Chords and Affinity Show Choir to celebrate LABBS 50th Birthday. It was a lovely sociable afternoon with much singing and mingling, oh and just a bit of cake eating too!

What a fabulous coaching day we enjoyed today with the fabulous Sally Mclean ! Not only did we learn a great deal, but we had a lot of fun! We can't wait to welcome her back on August 23rd. Thank you Sally!

What a great turnout we had for week 1 of our Love to Sing course! We welcomed 8 ladies, 2 of whom went into the bass section, 3 into the baritone section, 1 into lead and 2 into the tenor section! We started with a fun physical warm up led by our lovely dance teacher Liz, and then our fabulous MD Gill did a mix of fun warm ups, before teaching us all the first chorus of our new song 'Gold'.

Congratulations to our Musical Director Gill on receiving her official 30 year LABBS membership certificate, which was presented to her by our chorus Chair, Hilary. What a fantastic achievement! (However, Gill tells us she actually joined LABBS in 1986, so roll on the 40 year certificate!)

Our two newest members, Nish and Shauna, who joined Cheshire A Cappella in autumn last year were presented by our Chair Hilary with their official letters of membership from LABBS along with those all important pins!
