Following our success in gaining a bronze medal at the National Barbershop Convention at the end of May, and wanting to entertain the people of Long Eaton, the chorus are due to perform at 3.45.pm. Additionally, they are hoping to interest the local men in joining them. “It’s great to have the opportunity to perform at the local carnival, particularly after our recent success” said Chorus member Brian Sargent. ‘We have members from all over the East Midlands and would like to get more local people involved, particularly younger ones’.

To that end, we are to hold a singing course starting on 7 September 2011 for prospective singers to sample the fun of barbershop, in a large group, without any obligation. The course is free and teach CDs are provided to learn the songs. Musical knowledge is not a priority – it’s more of a love of singing that’s needed.  We will have a stall at the Carnival where further information can be obtained.
