| Bristol A Cappella is a high-quality mixed chorus that sings contemporary songs from a range of genres in the barbershop style. We don't have beatboxing or soloists, but we aim to create a wall of sound by singing in four to eight-part harmony. We’re always looking to improve our performances and have a good time along the way. We love to entertain at gigs and competitions and always welcome new auditionees. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds - you'll never have to sing by yourself and you get three months to do it! | Bristol A Cappella is the **2023 British champion mixed barbershop chorus**; we sing contemporary songs from a range of genres in the barbershop style.

| If you're keen to dive in, and don't mind a faster introduction, you can come along to one of our open rehearsals, usually the second Tuesday of each month. They'll give you a good feel for the chorus, but can feel a bit full-on if you'd prefer to start with other new singers. | If you're keen to dive in, and don't mind a faster introduction, you can come along to one of our **open rehearsals**, usually the second Tuesday of each month.
