It's done! We're back from a thrilling weekend at the BABS - British Association of Barbershop Singers SING 2026 Convention - lots of competing, drinking, tagging, and having a blast with our fellow barbershoppers from across the UK 🍻💈🎶

After having competed in the Male Chorus Competition, we're also very pleased to have walked away with the *biggest* trophy! 😎 (The Small Chorus trophy, awarded to the highest scoring chorus with 25 or fewer singers 😁) We're honoured to be able to add our name to all the other greats already engraved on it.

Huge thanks to all of our supports - whether you watched our performance on the the livestream, in person, or sent a message of encouragement - you motivate us the most ❤️

Many congratulations to the medalists, other award winners, and everyone that sang on stage - you were amazing!
🥇 Meantime Chorus
🥈 Hallmark of Harmony
🥉 The Royal Harmonics

Despite winning the Small Chorus trophy (for the first time in GWC history), we'd rather not have to compete for it again! So, if you or anyone you know would be interested, please join us! We're always looking for new members.
