The British Association of Barbershop Singers, BABS, is a charitable organisation with music education as its goal. Registered Charity Number: 1080930

The British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS) is a charitable organisation with music education as its goal. There are about 1800 members in 50 clubs across the UK. Every year a significant proportion of these clubs take part in contest culminating in the Annual Convention in the Spring. If you're going to have a contest, you have to have judges!

The Guild is an important resource for BABS. The judges are recognised experts in the main aspects of barbershop, namely singing, music and performance. They undertake bi-annual training at specialist seminars to be able to judge our choruses and quartets in competition.

This site provides current information about the Guild including a directory of members, contest results, rules and reference information for BABS members and other people with an interest in barbershop.
