Mersey Harmony received an invitation from the BBC early this
month to attend a specially-formed combined choir to rehearse and record two episodes of Songs Of Praise - the first to be shown on 29th November,

We held a very successful singing work-shop for local ladies on 16th September
to raise the profile of barbershop singing and to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Well done to Lesley, our MD, for managing the work-shop in a fun way while being able get across the complexities for four part harmony to the uninitiated!
We raised a total of £186.86 on the night, in addition to £85 at a Garden Party
and £110.00 at a Macmillan Coffee Morning, both events organised by one or

Some of us were able to attend an Education Day in Leeds, an annual
event organised by LABBS. We all had to learn the song 'Girls Just
Wanna Have Fun' before attending and then, on the day, we were coached on
the singing and performance of the song. Although it was a long day it was good experience and it was fun meeting ladies from other North West choruses

We have received details of several music festivals over the next
few months. Be sure to check our Events Calendar to keep up to

Jan 09
January was a bitterly cold month and heavy snow fall meant we
had to cancel our first rehearsal after the Christmas break.
Also, due to a heavy work schedule by our hardworking MD Lesley, Mersey Harmony has decided not to compete in this year's LABBS Convention. Instead we are to focus on performing in local music competitions and festivals.
