About Granite City Chorus
Our singing style is the four-part, unaccompanied close harmony of Tenor, Lead (Melody), Baritone and Bass male voices combining to create the unique Barbershop Sound.
Granite City Chorus Description
The chorus has been in existence since 1990, from an initial idea by Bob Stevens, our current Honorary President. Beginning as the "Royal Mailers" which reflected its postal origins the current name is synonymous with North East Scotland's Granite heritage.
Our "Sunday Name" is The Aberdeen Barbershop Harmony Club
We have a current membership of just under fifty guys.
The Club is one of over 50 such clubs around the UK who are members of the British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS).
Our Association is affiliated to the parent Society, the Barbershop Harmony Society of America and to the UK choral organisation "Making Music", previously the National Federation of Music Societies.
We are a Social and Competitive chorus meaning that we sing for fun and the entertainment of others, but also like to compete in annual barbershop conventions against many other choruses from around the UK and Europe.
