Tees Valley Barbershop Harmony Club
Middlesbrough, Stockton
About five years ago a group of men who travelled to Yorkshire for their barbershop 'fix' decided to form their own group based in the Tees Valley, thus the Tees Valley Barbershop Harmony Club came to be formed.
In autumn 2004 the club was officially accepted as full members of our parent body, the British Association of Barbershop Singers.
Since our foundation we have been busily building up our repertoire, improving our singing and attracting members until at present we have about 25 singers in the group, many of who had never experienced choral singing before.
This May we are taking 22 members to Cheltenham to compete at Convention, the national celebration of all things barbershop.
We are continually striving to introduce men to the joys of choral singing and to this end have organised a 'Learn to Sing' course starting September 23, lasting for 5 weeks based at Teesside University.
Feel free to drop in to any rehearsal, you will be made most welcome.
We rehearse every Tuesday at 7.30pm at The Hexagon Theatre, Hall Garth Community College, Hall Drive, Acklam, Middlesbrough, TS5 7JX.
