The British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS) is a charitable organisation with music education as its goal. There are over 2000 members in 59 clubs and over 70 registered quartets across the UK.

The annual BABS Harmony College, usually held over the August Bank Holiday weekend, is their flagship educational event. It attracts about 300 students to study all aspects of a cappella chorus and quartet performance. It is not limited to BABS members but is open to all and attracts attendees from the Ladies Association of Barbershop Singers, Sweet Adelines International, the teaching profession and from the wider world of choral music.

Browse the site to find out what's on offer at this year's college. Register on-line in minutes and then get to Nottingham for the best three days of education you'll have in a long, long time.
