It's 4th time Gold for Lace City!

The chorus have just arrived back from the UK & Netherlands regional convention and competition where we were delighted to be placed 1st.  This sets a new record as the first British chorus to win the coveted title of regional champion chorus four times in succession (previous titles in 2004, 2006 and 2008).  The chorus will now be heading off to Houston, Texas in October 2011 to take place in the international competition.  Follow our progress online.

Yee-hah!  Back from Nashville

The chorus have recently returned from participation in the Sweet Adelines International chorus championships in Nashville, Tennessee where we placed 20th in a field of 33 regional champion choruses from across the globe.  Your can watch our performance on our media page.  Congratulations to the Rich Tone Chorus from Dallas, Texas on winning the contest with a magnificent all time record score.  November 09

Lace City in the West End 

On Sunday 20 September, Lace City Chorus were privileged to open the British Barbershop show at the London Palladium and to share the stage with champion choruses and quartets from the three barbershop organisations in the UK.  It was a first outing for our new green costumes - and green eye make-up!  We even had the opportunity to entertain the un-expecting crowd in Carnaby Street as we warmed up for our performance.  

Lace City at the Sweet Adelines Annual Convention and Competition 2009 

In May 2009, Lace City took the stage at the Sage Gateshead, where we sang for evaluation in preparation for our appearance on the international stage in October. We were delighted with some very positive feedback from the judging panel.  We also had the priviledge to sing on the Saturday evening show of champions where we entertained the audience with our tribute to Abba complete with wigs and sparkly jumpsuits!  We'd like to extend our thanks to the Region 31 Management & Competion Teams for all their hard work in putting on another fantastic regional convention, and to all our many friends and supporters in the region.

Thank You For the Music show - 1st March 2009
