Preston Ladies' Harmony Chorus
Welcome to our chorus
The Red Rosettes has been established for more than 25 years and boasts a current membership of around 45-50 ladies. The chorus enjoys performing at many venues around the region and participates in annual chorus competitions through LABBS (Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers).
Our repertoire includes many well-known, established and new songs, popular with all audiences. Members come from a variety of backgrounds – teachers, secretaries, nurses, accountants, and students – and being wives, mothers and home-makers too! Many friendships have developed through barbershop singing and although The Red Rosettes work hard to maintain our repertoire we also have lots of fun too! New members are always welcome

The chorus is affiliated to LABBS (Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers), a UK organization, whose aim is to encourage the growth of ladies barbershop singing through education, performance and competition.
Barbershop harmony has evolved into a highly stylized art form requiring the same high degree of singing skill as other types of choral music. Barbershop harmony’s four voice parts are still called by their traditional names - tenor, lead, baritone, and bass – whether referring to men or women’s vocal groups. One of the distinctive qualities of barbershop harmony is that the melody, sung by the lead voice, is below the tenor harmony. More about barbershop
