We're so excited to be competing in Ireland at the Irish Association of Barbershop Singers Convention on 4th and 5th of October! Some of us may have started packing already...........!!! (www.iabsconvention.com) |
Phoenix Chorus send huge congratulations to all the competitors that crossed the stage in Sheffield this weekend! With a very special mention to Forth Valley Chorus and Vida Loca Quartet on their outstanding winning performances, they quite literally lit up the stage! We were thrilled to share our contest package and are proud to be taking home two medals. ❤️❤️ Special thanks to Quartet of Nations Region 31 - Sweet Adelines International, for everything they did to ensure that the weekend ran like clockwork!!! We look forward to our next contest in Ireland at the Irish Association of Barbershop Singers in October. Watch this space! Irish Association of Barbershop Singers |
In order of appearance - we'll sort of!......Front and centre three of our new members joining us on stage for the first time, Bella, Sophie and Kim and right behind them last year's first timers, as always supported by the Phoenix family. |
Each year the Quartet of Nations, representing singing groups in Great Britain and the Netherlands as part of Sweet Adelines International, pays tribute to the Musical Directors of its barbershop harmony acappella groups. This MD Appreciation Week the members of Phoenic Chorus wish to acknowledge our fabulous directing team of Lynda Wood (pictured right) and our assistant MD Glenis Todd. Lynda and Glenis - you are the beating heart 💓 of Phoenix and we appreciate everything that you do for us. Much love from us all 😘 |
Sunday saw Phoenix Chorus enjoy a wonderful sing for a second year at the Bedford Christmas Tree festival. A stunning venue full of beautifully decorated trees raising funds for Bedford Hospitals Charity and Friends. What could be better? The audience enjoyed our Christmas repetoire ranging from Funky Rudolph to Once in Royal David's City. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

One of our longest serving Baritones, Janet, was presented with the Phoenix Life Membership award by President, Fi, and Musical Director, Lynda. Janet joined Phoenix chorus in 1988! |
Phoenix Chorus were proud to earn a bronze medal at IABS2019 in Killarney, Ireland. We all had a fabulous time, and made lots of new friends! |
