Friends in Harmony

The Friends first met in November 1978, a small group of four which gave its first concert in 1979. It grew and blossomed and by 1980 had performed some 23 sing-outs. The club joined BABS (British Association of Barbershop Singers) in 1983 and went from strength to strength and by the 1990’s were singing in Preliminary Competitions and appearing on Television.

A Quartet from within the chorus, ‘Royal Charter’ was formed and has performed at a number of prestigious venues, although sadly after some 19 years their tenor has retired, but watch this space!.

By 2005 the chorus had sung in more than 375 sing-outs and had a membership of 21 singing at venues as varied as RAF Valley, a circus tent, a castle and retirement homes both on the island of Anglesey and on the mainland of North Wales. It is a fun group which lives up to its name ‘Friends in Harmony’ giving enjoyment to many and a bond of friendship between its members.

In 2005 the group won the Barbershop Section at the Coleraine International Choral Festival in Northern Ireland.
