A Handbag of Harmonies – 10 years!

Now in their tenth year,  A Handbag of Harmonies go from strength to strength.  With an enviable legacy of exciting performances, television appearances and large outreach programme, A Handbag of Harmonies are launching into their second decade with unbounded vigour.

Latest review snippets:

“If your experience of this exuberant choral company is bite-sized performances during their many guest appearances throughout the area, you ain’t seen nothing yet…..and if you believe their appearance on national TV via the 2008 BBC 1 series Last Choir Standing – which they were voted off at a criminally early stage – was the pinnacle of their achievements, you don’t know what you are talking about”

“We got everything we expected – handbags, feather boas, Britney Spears, Jo McNee’s cheeky but oh so clever choreography – but we got so much more.

“Matt Baker.. was an utterly charming and amusing master of ceremonies throughout the evening…”

“These ladies needed no gimmicks to send the spirits soaring with their exhilarating rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water, followed by a performance of Total Eclipse of the Heart that showed the Glee kids exactly how to wring every bit of emotion from this epic ballad.”

“Shining River, a moving, lyrical and musically uplifting song that deserves to become a permanent inclusion in the choir’s repertoire and to be given national exposure should that opportunity ever arise again.”

“The Handbags may not have been the Last Choir Standing but they are most definitely a choir still standing and doing so with their heads – and handbags – held high.”
