Cheshire Chord Company
The Cheshire Chord Company are nine-time LABBS Chorus Champions.
Originally formed in 1993 by a group of friends with a passion for singing, they have steadily grown in size and stature to become one of the most successful all female A Cappella choruses in the UK. With members from all walks of life, ranging from the age of 12 to 60+, they work hard to achieve very high standards while having a great deal of fun along the way enjoying the great friendships that they share.
They are led by our Musical Director Jo Braham who joined the chorus in January 2011. She brought with her a wealth of experience, boundless energy, enthusiasm as well as a real passion for close harmony barbershop which she delivers with sparkling good humour.
They singing to a wide range of audiences in a variety of settings; anything from the London Palladium to Golden Square shopping centre in Warrington!
