Surrey Harmony Women’s Barbershop Chorus

Let’s get together again

“Let’s get together again, for we’ve had a wonderful time” may be the lyrics of a well know barbershop song but it’s also how we feel after a wonderful night of music and song with our friends The Kentones.

We were invited to be guests of the Bromley in Kent based male barbershop club on Saturday 3rd November.

We were invited to be guests of the Bromley in Kent based male barbershop club on Saturday 3rd November. It was a superbly well organised and supported event with some 500 people packed into the hall of the Darrick Wood School in Orpington.

The Kentones appreciated us ripping off our skirts! The fireworks were going off outside, but the hall was full of sparkle as well. Our sets comprised some of our favourites - our debut of “You Raise Me Up” went down particularly well and The Kentones appreciated us ripping off our skirts!

We had performances from our quartets Zig Zag who sang two songs by Billy Joel; and Hunky Dory who sang a Duke Ellington number as well as “Only You” made famous by Yazoo and the Flying Pickets.

The audience was extremely appreciative of the programme and enjoyed singing along to our wartime songs “Apple Blossom Time” and “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree”.
