We are a friendly and award-winning barbershop chorus that sings in four-part harmony. Based in Leyland we love creating a cappella music together and welcome new members who share our passion for singing! 

2. What is barbershop singing?
Barbershop is a cappella (voice-only) singing in four-part harmony, creating a rich, ringing sound. It’s a fun and rewarding style that blends teamwork, vocal skill, and performance energy!

3. Do I need to have singing experience to join?
No formal experience is necessary! If you love to sing, can hold a tune, and are willing to learn, we’d love to meet you. We’ll help you find the right voice part and support your musical growth.

4. What voice parts do you have?
Barbershop singing has four parts:
• Lead (melody)
• Bass (low harmony)
• Baritone (middle harmony)
• Tenor (high harmony)

We’ll help you find the part that best suits your voice.
