2009 March
European Convention, Holland

Hot on the tails of our 2008 Silver Medal winning performance at National Competition Gem Connection competed as first-timers in the European Barbershop Convention, this took place at Veldhoven in The Netherlands from 5th to 8th March 2009.

As one of 24 choruses, we were thrilled to be awarded eighth place. Although the chorus earned higher marks than ever before in competition, it wasn’t just about the results. Barbershop is such a warm community.

We were given a tremendous welcome and enjoyed catching up with friends from other choruses. We were even thanked by the management of Sea France for our impromptu performance for staff and passengers on the cross-channel ferry!
