Some Information About Us

So, what are Chelmsford Star all about?

Well, it’s all about having a great time with a friendly bunch of guys really but you are probably looking for a more comprehensive answer to that question.

Chelmsford Star Barbershop Harmony Club are a group of 30 plus men who meet every Monday to rehearse and sing the sort of songs we most enjoy singing. Nothing beats the sound of ‘a capella’ four-part harmony sung in the Barbershop style. ‘A capella’? It simply means ‘without accompaniment’.

We sing at many private and public shows throughout the year, both indoors and out. Our main purpose is to take our style of music to as many different places as we can – we want you to share in the pleasure we derive from our shows. If you are not sure that your particular venue is appropriate, give us a call anyway – you’d be surprised at some of the unusual places where we have performed. We also sing in competitions from time to time.

We are available for bookings and you can e-mail us for further details. Just click on ‘Contact Us’ to find out where to get all the necessary information, totally without obligation.

So, if your appetite has been whetted and you think you might like to become a barbershop singer, then click on ‘Join Us’ for more information.
