The chorus achieved their highest ever score for performance of two songs ‘If I Love Again’ and ‘Love Me’.

BABS has an active membership of 60 registered choruses and is the largest barbershop organisation outside of North America. Clubs are based in towns and cities stretched across the whole country and 35 of them came together for a weekend of competition, shows, masterclasses and workshops featuring International champions.
