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.

Been there! Done that!

It's over for another year. Best one yet?? Cindy Hansen was, without question, inspirational and willing to share her knowledge and experience on so many levels.

We should have had 304 attendees but illness prevented half a dozen people from coming so we ended up with just under 300.

If you were there, make sure that you fill out your feedback form. The planning team really do take notice and if things can be done to improve the college, they will be.
