About Us

We sing unaccompanied, four part, close harmony songs scored for tenor, lead, baritone, and bass voices. Many of the songs date from the latter part of the 19th century onwards and are special arrangements of popular songs of yesteryear. Now of course more modern popular songs are sung such as written by the Beatles, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael etc.

Our singing groups are in considerable demand and perform on request at a wide variety of venues ranging from residential homes for the elderly, Women's Institutes branches, Music Festivals, fund raising events, church concerts, private celebrations etc. The club has also entered in the BABS annual regional competitions.

The club is always very pleased to welcome visitors at our rehearsals which are held at Langley Preparatory School, Yarmouth Road, Norwich on Wednesday evenings beginning at 7.30pm. Please contact our Membership Secretary see next page beforehand for fuller details or just "turn- up" at the rehearsal venue where you will be warmly received. We look for no immediate commitment from our visitors but just hope that they will find our brand of "a cappella" singing exciting and compelling, and make a return visit as a prospective member in due course.

Enquiries about entertainment by all groups are dealt with by our Hon. Secretary Brian Hume
(Tel: 01603 623710) who will be pleased to send full written details and a booking form on request.

Our "in house" quartet called D'Accord performs regularly

Since those early days, the group has grown in numbers and has become affiliated to the British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS). The more formal club name of the "Norwich Barbershop Harmony Club" has been adopted as well as the "Fine City Chorus"
