5ways Chorus are a group of men who love to sing in the Barbershop style. Founded in 2003 we have quickly established ourselves both locally and nationally as a chorus dedicated to the enjoyment of a capella 4 part harmony. Our infectious enthusiasm is guaranteed to put a smile on your face with a programme ranging from 19th century minstrel songs through to popular songs by Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, the Beach Boys, Walt Disney and even Queen! Our repertoire is always growing.
5ways Chorus was accepted as full members of the British Association of Barbershop Singers in the autumn of 2005. Having been formed by 3 keen individuals, we are proud that we now number some 20+ members. We compete at the National Barbershop Convention and each year, and have also competed at the Oxford, Milton Keynes and Chipping Norton Music Festivals.
5ways Chorus have sung and entertained at many local events such as fétes, weddings and birthday parties. We regularly visit senior citizens in homes in and around the Byfield, Brackley, Daventry, and Banbury areas to entertain them. Perhaps not surprisingly after any of the above events and even after rehearsals they can often be found in local hostelries partaking of light refreshments and singing another song or two.
