The most public highlight was on TV winning the Channel 5 ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ talent show in 2010. In 2009 they gained 6th place and in 2011 5th place, in the ladies’ national competition and in 2009 won two silver medals in Dublin, one for their singing, the other for their entertainment.
Yesteryear are a group of a dozen men who mainly sing a capella but have been known to get out a ukulele now and then. They have been entertaining throughout the East Midlands for a number of years and are in much demand. Their 13th member is our compere for the evening, Mr. Len Matthews, a man well known throughout barbershop circles for his easy presentation manner and dry wit.
The Great British Barbershop Boys got together in 2008 whilst in the National Barbershop Youth Chorus and eight months later became the British Champion Quartet.
