Potton Barbershop Harmony Club – “Shannon Express”

Shannon Express Chorus is an auditioned, all male, barbershop chorus with over 30 active members. Founded 45 years ago in Potton, our rehearsals now take place in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, on Thursday evenings from 7.30 to10.00pm.  Our website is: https://www.shannonexpress.org.uk/

We love to entertain and our repertoire covers a diverse selection of popular music including songs from musicals, gospel, swing and modern classics.

The chorus recently achieved ninth place in the annual national contest organised by BABS, the British Association of Barbershop Singers and the performance can be seen on Youtube, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy8igFJQWuo&list=PLdc7BSMChGFkZpEC6jNhGUqQUvVIG8aGw&index=6

We are now looking for someone with the musical ability, enthusiasm and vitality to help us grow our membership, improve our performances and enjoy our singing even more than we do now.  Previous direct involvement with barbershop is not essential.  Sponsorship for appropriate educational events will be available.

Remuneration for this post will be negotiated with the successful candidate according to experience and scale of activities agreed.
