Thameside Harmony is dedicated to excellence in barbershop style singing, which is unaccompanied (a capella), 4-part harmony. Our aim is to bring enjoyment to the many and varied audiences we sing to, from small groups and residential homes to annual events and music festivals.
The chorus has a busy programme of 'singouts' throughout the year ('singout' is the traditional barbershop terms for a public performance). The unique harmonic sound of our repertoire includes lively jazzy numbers, country 'n' western, soulful ballads, blues, and even a collection of Beatles songs. The repertoire is currently being updated and we have recently added Abba's Mama Mia and Petula Clark's Downtown. We also offer a special selection of Christmas songs, including barbershop arrangements of traditional carols.
