We sing a wide variety of songs from all genres - pop, jazz and classics in the a cappella style, as well as a range of songs based on the American SongBook arranged in Barbershop style. We combine our singing with choreography and a range of dazzling costumes for maximum stage impact. We are Regional Gold medallists seven times over and have represented Region 31 (the UK and the Netherlands) in International Competition in the USA six times. In our latest trip to New Orleans in September 2019 we put both Scotland and the UK on the Barbershop map when we broke into the top ten in the world - the first time a region 31 chorus has EVER featured in the top 10.
