Things are Hotting Up!!

Rob - our bass is still in Nashville Tennessee at the Sweet Adelines (Ladies Barbershop - some people get all the luck!!) World Championships, so at the moment the quartet is a trio, but he returns on November 1st, literally just in time for our performance with the Major Oak Chorus at the Albert Hall in Nottingham that evening - it will be interesting to see if he can stay awake!!

November 15th is the date for the British Quartet Championship Preliminary Competition (commonly known as Prelims) at the Birmingham Conservatoire, so everything is now on hold until we have performed there.

Following that, we have loads of appearances at weddings, Womens' institute parties and also a Rotary Club party. Sadly these are all private performances so the public cannot be admitted, but if you are interested in booking the quartet in 2010, please get in touch and we'll see what we can do.




We have also got permission from Nottingham City Council to give ad-hoc performances in and around the city centre, so who knows - you might see us singing on a street corner near you!!

The Corn Mill - Beeston

We were pleased to have been chosen by Andy and his lovely wife Sharon, the pub managers, to entertain their customers at the relaunch of this fabulous gastro -pub.

We performed three 30 minute spots around the packed pub whilst the diners enjoyed their lunches, and were particularly appreciative when we were offered lunch "on the house", and delicious it was.

Everyone seemed to enjoy our singing, and we received several enquiries from diners about singing at their various events.

Along with the quartet, a group of lady Morris Dancers from Loughborough were dancing outside in the car park, and were really enthusiastic in the way they used their short staffs - I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of them!!

All in all, a really good afternoon and we look forward to a repeat performance in the coming months.
