The
chorus was formed in April 1986. Formerly Thameside Ladies Barbershop
Chorus, the name was changed to Thameside Harmony in 2010. One member
who joined in the original year is still singing with us, and two
'originals' have recently retired from the chorus. We have
been in the Hampton/Twickenham area in various venues since 1986, but
our home now is
The White House Community Association Centre. Magna
Carta, the men's Barbershop Chorus, also rehearses there.
