Beer n Barbershop in ass.with Macmillan Cancer Support

Beer n Barbershop was a great success, both for the Major Oak Chorus and ourselves, and the audience seemed to like the new routine, "I Only Have Eyes For You". Now it's off to Llandudno for the British Association Convention and National Championships.

Good luck to everyone, but especially the Major Oak Chorus and our brother quartet, 4 Blokes Singin', who are performing with a stand-in Tenor, Mr Dale Kyneston from Telford, who has more gold medals than you can shake a stick at!

Beer n Barbershop in ass.with Macmillan Cancer Support

Well we did it!!

The new song was "I Only Have Eyes For You", and we performed the full choreography. The audience were laughing their hearts out, so it was very well received. Because of illness, our brother quartet 4 Blokes Singin' were unable to appear (get well soon Chris), so we got to sing more songs than originally planned.

I know several of our friends were there taking pics and videos so I hope someone will be kind enough to send them to me so I can post them here.

The Major Oak Chorus were absolutely fantastic, and I'm sure it will do well at the National Competitions in Llandudno this weekend.

A fantastic evening.

Beer n Barbershop in ass.with Macmillan Cancer Support

Beer 'n Barbershop event at the Bread and Bitter pub in Mapperley Nottingham tonight, where we will be performing, without a safety net, our new comedy song with the most complicated choreography we have ever attempted , for the very first time (gulp).

Hopefully it will all be OK.

This weekend we are in Llandudno with the Major Oak Chorus for the national championships. Friday evening our brother quartet 4 Blokes Singin' are competing in the national semi finals, and we wish them the very best.

I suppose we will have to sing and drink beer all weekend.

How we suffer for our art!!

Beer n Barbershop


We are all hard at work rehearsing our new package for the Beer 'n Barbershop show at the Bread and Bitter, Mapperley.

Our latest song is a closely guarded secret at the moment, but our choreographer thinks it's easily the funniest thing we have done, so we can't wait to perform it to an audience.

This show is doubling as the dress rehearsal for the Major Oak Chorus, and our fellow quartet, 4 Blokes Singin'.

Just think, barbershop in a pub that serves real ale - it just doesn't get any better than that!!
