Thursday 16th July saw representatives from 5 choruses in the
wider Bristol area gather to sing and celebrate 50 years of female barbershop singing with the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers.
With a delicious, chocolate and gold birthday cake - baked by BF's Lucy Howard. Guests came adorned in gold and had a chance to sing the new polecat of Spandau Ballet's hit song - GOLD! - we all knew it would be a super evening and it really was.

Events were kicked off with a welcome from BF's chair person, Fliss Proctor,  and then performance lead for BF, Debbie Trotman (DT) led the gathered guests through a fun routine featuring moves to represent each chorus! The excited sheep was particularly memorable! 

With performances from each group, polecat singing, a fantastic rendition of Happy Birthday, a photo wall and plenty of time to socialise the singers discovered - it seemed - their very own anthem of 'Happy Together' by the Turtles. With promises to gather at Convention 26 in the Afterglow as well future socials and celebrations (Bristol Fashion are turning 50 in 2027) the night was a roaring success.

Happy Anniversary LABBS!
