Capital Chorus is London’s premier male Barbershop Harmony Club: a friendly and welcoming bunch of men who share a common hobby…..BARBERSHOP SINGING.

The Chorus, formed in 1983, comprises around 25 members drawn mostly from West London and surrounding areas. The age range spans from 20s to 70s, and members come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Our philosophy is to sing well, provide entertainment of the highest quality…. and have lots of fun doing it! We also believe in supporting local good causes, and half of all our “sing out" fees goes to Charity.

Over the last 25 years the Chorus has become a familiar sight at theatres, clubs, corporate events and fund raisers throughout London, with our wide repertoire of songs from the twenties to the eighties proving popular with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. We sing Beatle songs, Gospel, jazz and other fun songs (please click on our Repertoire tab).

In 2007, Capital Chorus won the award for “Best Small Chorus” at the BABS Convention (the Annual British Championship for Barbershop Singing) (see inset).

The group also won first prize in the open choir competition at the Ealing Music Festival in both 2007 and 2008.

Don’t wait for an open evening, just turn up any Monday from 7:45 pm:  Kingsdown Church, Northfield Avenue, corner Kingsdown Avenue, West Ealing W13 9PR.

You’re guaranteed a warm welcome and a chance to chat with members at breaks in rehearsal and over a pint in the pub afterwards.
