The Sussex Harmonisers is an inclusive club, comprising male and female members - formed to enjoy and perform 4 part harmony and the Barbershop style of 4 part harmony in particular. The Sussex Harmonisers club was proud to be the first UK Barbershop organisation to offer both men’s and women’s harmony groups under one name.
We develop and promote performance through full chorus groups, octets and quartets.
Currently our performing choruses are, the Sussex Kings of Harmony which is a male chorus and Sussex A Cappella which is a female chorus
Sussex Kings of Harmony
The Sussex Kings of Harmony is a male voice chorus singing in the Barbershop style. The club has its roots in, and several current members who date back to, two other clubs – the Sussex Barbershop Singers and the Regency Harmonisers, which eventually joined together as The Sussex Harmonisers in 2005. Drawing on members from all over the county – from Crawley to the north, to Brighton & Hove in the south and to Uckfield in the east – the men entertain audiences all over the south of England, as well as taking part in local and national competitions.
2019 saw the newly-renamed chorus score its highest ever marks at the The British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS) chorus competition in Bournemouth and being awarded the Most Improved Chorus award.
Sussex A Cappella
Our ladies chorus was formed in January 2018 in response to requests from ladies who had joined our ‘Sing with Us for Christmas’ programme and who wanted to continue singing after the tree had been composted and the tinsel put away. In a very short space of time the chorus went from complete beginnings to public performances, had a name change and extended its repertoire, providing the club with an extra dimension that not only adds variety, but also the potential for a third ‘mixed’ chorus.
