The Not Strictly
Barbershop Choir BARBERSHOP GROUP REPORT MAY 2007- 2008 “Not Strictly Barbershop" has had a busy twelve months once again. After the AGM we had a short break and then resumed on a fortnightly program into the summer months singing at Freehay Summer Fete at the end of July. We gained 6 new members after a recruitment drive in August where we had two “open sessions” to encourage people to “come and see what we do and try it out.” In the Autumn we sang at Ellastone’s harvest supper, and for Denstone’s Womens Institute. In December we organised a concert with The Alton Hand bell Ringers and raised over £800 for The North Staffs Special Adventure Playground. Our last gig of the year was for the North Staffordshire Conservative Ladies Luncheon Club at Stone. In December some of our members went to the Victoria Hall to hear the fantastic, inspiring award winning barber shop choir “The Cambridge Chord Company”. This year (2008) we are proudly wearing our new uniforms, partly sponsored by the U3A, and have taken part in Cheadle Arts Festival “Cre-8 day” on March 8th. We also performed on Friday 14th at the Christian Fellowship Church as part of a series of U3A “Lunchtime Showcases” throughout the week.
We are already booked up for our autumn concerts and now booking for 2009!
