LABBS Big Weekend

30th October to 1st November 2020​

​

The annual LABBS Convention couldn't take place this year, for obvious reasons, so instead we had the LABBS Big Weekend! It was three full days of events taking place online, from quartet and chorus video performances to a variety of fringe events, workshops, keynote sessions with world-class barbershop coaches and so much more.

​

We were delighted to present our 'virtual choir' performance of Seasons of Love as our own contribution.

Wedding bells!

​

Huge congratulations to our wonderful musical director Kate, who married the lovely Pete on Saturday 29th August 2020. We wish you both every happiness for the future, and we're looking forward to joining in with more celebrations next year. 

Hazel Grove Musical Festival

29th February 2020

​

We were delighted to take third place in the Hazel Grove Musical Festival. It was particularly special for us as it was our first public performance of 'Seasons of Love', a beautiful song which has been arranged for us in memory of Helen Reid, our dear friend and member of the bass section, who sadly died in 2018.

New recruits

​

We are delighted to be joined by seven new members following our recruitment day in January. Huge welcome to Tricia, Sian, Hilary, Ann, Sue, Stephanie and Kvetka, it's great to have you with us!

Open Day

11th January 2020

​

It was lovely to see so many new faces at our open day. We had such a great day, learning a new song together and getting to know each other. We're looking forward to making more progress over the next few weeks.

​

Anyone who missed the open day but is interested in joining us is very welcome to come along to any of our Wednesday night rehearsals. Get in touch here.

Christmas Show

8th December 2019

​

It was a full house on Sunday 8th December for the Cheshire A Cappella Christmas show! We had plenty of Christmas songs to get us into the festive mood, and an audience singalong accompanied by our very own ukulele group. We welcomed fabulous guest quartets SK4 and Revolution and enjoyed a reading from the lovely Karen, who was celebrating her special birthday that very day!

 

Christmas Singout at Wilmslow Garden Centre

1st December 2019

​

A lovely afternoon at Wilmslow Garden Centre, singing Christmas songs and collecting on behalf of local charity the Seashell Trust. Our first festive singout of the season!

 

LABBS Convention

25th to 27th October 2019

​

We had a fantastic weekend in Llandudno, competing in the 2019 LABBS Convention with 27 other choruses from across the UK. It was an exhilarating experience, and a privilege to share the stage with such amazing talent.

A recording of our performance can be seen here

Retreat weekend

7th & 8th September 2019

​

We had a great retreat weekend, with coaching from Jo Braham and Sandra Lea-Riley in preparation for LABBS Convention at the end of October. Full-on hard work but such fun and so rewarding, with plenty of cake to help us through... there was even prosecco!

Visit to Jersey

16th to 17th March 2019

​

We were delighted to be invited to spend a weekend singing in the beautiful island of Jersey. We were guests of the well-renowned choir Les Conteurs Singers at their concert in the parish of St. Martin, and performed in our own singout at a tea-and-cakes event in St. Aubin the following afternoon.
