Quartets and Octets
Within Cheshire Chord Company, we have a number of Quartets and Octets.
Find out more about these groups below!
IN HOUSE
IN HOUSE have been singing together since 2019. All four ladies are members of Cheshire Chord Company. On Tenor is Jane; Lead is Julie; Rachel is on Baritone; and Bass is CCC's Musical Director Jo.
IN HOUSE were delighted to be named the 2022 LABBS Quartet Champions, and we have exciting plans for our championship year.
As part of the new Barbershop Harmony Society and LABBS alliance, we accepted the invitation from BHS to compete as the first LABBS quartet at the international convention. This was held in Louisville in July 2023 and we had the most amazing time!

Incognito
We are Sue, Andrea, Julie and Kath and we sing ladies barbershop, acapella and choral arrangements. We’ve been singing together for 3 years as a foursome and much longer with our chorus, Cheshire Chord Company. We enjoy singing on shows, at music festivals and the occasional barbershop contest. We have also sung at care homes and community gatherings and would be happy to discuss your requirements.

Four Crying Out Loud
Four Crying out Loud were originally formed in early 2021 during lockdown and like many others, we did not actually sing together, in person, for many months. Since that time, we went on to compete in a number of local festivals and national competitions, winning a total of 3 trophies. Following a temporary break in mid 2023, we reformed in January 2024, with a brand new line up. We have (from left to right) Zoe on Bari, Jo on Lead, Helen on Bass and Alison on Tenor. It’s been a busy start to our barbershop journey, with our debut performance in Calpe at BIBA 24 En Armonia and then at the Alderley Edge Music Festival.
Octave
Octave is an Octet made up of eight singers who all sing with Cheshire Chord Company. We have Victoria on Tenor then Jo, Kat and Una singing lead, Brenda and Heather singing baritone and last but not least Helen and Gill are our basses.
Octave love to entertain when we get the opportunity and we sing a range of popular songs from beautiful ballads to uptempo numbers. When we’re not singing with our fabulous Cheshire Chord Company we love to rehearse and we’re fond of a good social get together!
If you would like to book us to entertain at your next event please contact us by emailing Heather on the following address: hpeake@rlhughes.org.uk
