About

Trade the post-holidays slump for songs from the 1940's to the 1990's and good company! Join us for an evening of favourites performed by local talent for the general public. We have a beautiful venue, free parking, £20 tickets - and you'll be supporting 'Alzheimers Dementia Support's vital Dementia Services for local families.

The Performing Acts Are:
The Signature Singers - Signature A Cappella Singers is an award winning female a cappella chorus. We enjoy singing a variety of music, including Barbershop 4-part harmony, pop and show songs. Every member of Signature is important, vocally and personally. The chorus members always strive to improve and learn, and we always look to develop our repertoire. We work hard, and love to have fun as well. Singing is so beneficial to health and well-being.

The Royal Males - The Royal Males quartet, who met as members of the Royal Harmonics, was formed in 2008 and at their first Convention appearance won the National Seniors Gold medal, eventually being placed seventh in the BABS main Quartet Competition in 2009. They then represented the UK in the World Seniors Quartet competition in Tampa, Florida in 2010. The line-up was Bob Walker (Lead), Michael Webster (Tenor), James Dubois (Bass) and Richard Skilton (Baritone). When Richard's health deteriorated, he stepped back in favour of another Royal Harmonics member, Frank Marshall, who had already won a BABS Bronze medal as the Baritone in Wheel of Harmony in 2000. The quartet still perform regularly and love those close harmonies.

The Royal Harmonics - For us, it's all about the harmonies, and all about entertainment. At the heart of what we do are the distinctive ringing chords of close harmony singing: lead, bass, baritone and tenor voices coming together to create a rich unified blend. And we aim to perform our varied repertoire of songs in innovative ways, often with imaginative staging and interpretations. Our musical roots are in the barbershop style, and we are members of the British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS). We are proud to have won the Silver Medal at the BABS national chorus competition in 2008, and have placed in the top 5 every year in the country. For 2025 (our silver anniversary year) we have been selected to represent the UK at the European Compeition in Sweden.
