Burnley Sports Dinner
Well after competing what's the best thing to do?............... Go sing to guests as they arrive at a sports dinner!
It was actually really nice to sing to people rather than judges (not that Judges aren't people!). In particular a young student who's a keen musician kept coming back to listen and loved the four part harmonies, certainly made us want to carry on and reminded us that we do this because we enjoy it, not just for the nerves of competition.
Being able to sing anywhere as no equipment was required was commented on as a definite plus by the event organisers, with lots of positive comments so a good gig. A bonus being the event's manager liked us so much we're now booked for two Christmas gigs too :0)

Prelims 11th June 2011
Well it was a long day, but it paid off!
We managed to not only qualify at the LABS (Ladies Association of Barbershop singers) national Prelims, but came 10th in the country. As this was our goal we're really pleased.
Now to learn the new songs for competition in October. Looking forward to it, have lots to do and had really useful feedback from the judges so we know what to work on. Onwards and upwards!
Next public gig is this Thursday at Burnley Sports awards.

Chester Music Festival
88 points and a distinction, really pleased, all helps us get ready for the national prelims, early June.
Improving each time, although looking at this picture it would suggest we're also merging into one person, a bit blouse tastic!

Good rehearsal this afternoon, practicing our songs for Chester music competition in May and the national ladies barbershop Prelims in June. They seem a long way off but will no doubt arrive sooner than we think.
Got our business cards back from the printers this week they look great, although frustratingly Chris' email was wrong so please use details below if you want to contact her directly.

Busy rehearsing
Had a successful rehearsal on Sunday, practicing our package for our next competition in May. Learning new songs to add to our repertoire. We have nearly cracked Groovy kind of love! and choosen our ballad for LABBS national quartet competition in the Autumn. All go!
