About our Director - Glenn Chaney

Glenn founded the Lace City Chorus in 1992 and has remained our Musical Director ever since.  Once a humble Chemistry teacher at the school where the chorus has its origins, Glenn now works full time as a singing teacher, teaching students of all ages and of all abilities from his studio in Carlton, Nottingham. 

Glenn's passion for Barbershop music started in the early 80s when he joined his local barbershop chorus.  He heard a few chords and has been hooked ever since.  As testament to this, as well as directing Lace City, Glenn sings Lead in the quartet Revised Edition and spends much of his spare time travelling the length and breadth of the country sharing his skills and experience with other choruses, quartets and individuals wanting to improve their barbershop skills.

In 2004, in recognition for Lace City Chorus scoring over 600 points in contest, Glenn was awarded 'Master Director' status and in doing so, became the first director in our region to bear this prestigious title.
