Membership subs are now due for 2025-26.
We are a group of women 18+ from all walks of life with one thing in common - we love to sing! It's well known that singing brings physical, psychological and emotional benefits; it reduces stress and increases feelings of well-being, it improves posture and breathing, boosts the immune system.... and it's a great way of meeting people and making new friends.
We meet weekly, working on extending our repertoire of songs and improving our vocal and performance skills. We are strictly an amateur chorus; most of us have never had singing lessons and many of us can't read music, but we work together in a supportive environment to achieve the best we can and have loads of fun along the way.

Our Musical Style
Our Musical Style
We sing in unaccompanied (a cappella) four-part harmony. Many of the arrangements we sing are in the barbershop style, where the melody is surrounded by harmonies above and below, creating wonderful natural overtones. Women with any voice range, from low to high, are able to find a suitable harmony part. Our repertoire varies from contemporary and pop to swing, jazz, ballads and songs from films and shows, together with some classic barbershop arrangements. Some of our songs are performed with choreography to enhance the overall musical presentation.
In October 2024, Gill Irwin joined Cheshire A Cappella as our new Chorus Director. Gill is a long standing barbershop singing enthusiast since 1988 and as a member of the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers. She brings a wealth of talent and experience to Cheshire A Cappella!
