About Us The chorus originally known as Camtown
Ladies came
into being in May 1982, under the direction
of Betty Alyson
with a grand total of four members. By the following July membership had increased to ten,
but
during the summer
break half of that number moved away. A recruiting drive was undertaken
by the
remaining members, and by September of that year there were 12 members. Now called County
Connection
Harmony, many ladies have since come and gone, but numbers
are
now 38 and we are currently recruiting again for new members to swell
this number. We became members of Sweet
Adelines International, a
non-profit, world-wide organisation of women singers, committed to
advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education
and performance. Our Chorus chartered in 2000 and have since participated
in
the Quartet of Nations Regional competitions held every year at venues
in the UK. We also have other singing engagements throughout the
year at
private and public functions. The money we receive from these
engagements help towards our costumes and other expenses incurred. Our standing goals are to bring in new members, create more opportunities to perform, and bring our love of four-part a capella music to the community.
