Earlier this month, we won gold at the women’s barbershop championships earning us the title of the UK and Netherlands champions. The medal also means that we will represent the UK at the international contest in America next year.

Lace City Chorus is inviting women of all ages and backgrounds to join them to Sing This Summer.  Girls aged 14yrs and upwards are also welcome to attend.  Come along and learn the chart topping song ‘Hold My Hand’ by Jess Glynne in 4 part acappella harmony.  It doesn’t matter whether you have any singing experience, or even if you think you can’t sing.  This is a brilliant opportunity to come and have fun and experience the joy of singing in harmony with a large, friendly chorus.

Lace City Chorus are delighted to announce that Ellie Blackeby has been appointed as the chorus Musical Director.

Ellie has led the chorus in her role as Interim Musical Director since May 2020 and accepted the role permanently this week. 

Deborah Pollard, Management Team Coordinator said: “I have seen Ellie grow as a barbershopper and leader over many years, I know we couldn't wish for a better person to take on this role. Ellie has a deep passion for the chorus and cares about every member. She has demonstrated inspirational musical leadership and unparalleled pastoral care for chorus members. Lace City is in safe hands as we move forward together.”

Lace City Chorus is a highly successful acapella chorus based in the county of Nottinghamshire, UK. During the Covid-19 pandemic we have taken our rehearsals online using "Zoom" video conferencing.

Despite not being able to sing in person, we haven't let it stop us from learning new songs, developing our singing skills and having fun together.

We want to extend this experience to YOU by inviting you to join our three week 'love your voice' event. This will allow you to learn two songs with the regular chorus, learn how to make the best of your voice and take part in a virtual recording. 

We celebrate everyone’s uniqueness, so regardless of your experience or type of voice, try it out for three weeks and become a part of creating something beautiful. 

Grab a glass of mulled wine, get cosy on your sofa and watch our gift to you. We recorded this song to wish our friends and family Merry Christmas. 

Christmas isn’t going to be what we’d hoped this year but however you’re celebrating may your Christmas be filled with laughter and cheer. 

*Try something new in 2021*
