Whilst Launceston only has a very small barbershop community, we have been made to feel so very welcome by the Australia wide community. With the support of Barbershop Harmony Australia and Deep South (our Hobart friends), we were fortunate enough to attend the National Convention in Adelaide and each member of The Fellas and Club Sandwich (Launceston Church Grammar School) had the most amazing experience.

From the schools competition and workshop, youth workshop, the Big Sing, the John Little Show and Chorus Corall, to the Chorus and Quartet competitions, we were so well received by fellow ‘barbershoppers’, audiences and judges alike.

One of the absolute highlights was performing at the Showcase of Champions, alongside Blenders Youth Chorus, Sunday’s Best and Blindside. This will long live in the memories of all the boys and we thank Jonathan Albertini for the invitation!

On our return to Launceston, we shared a concert with the National Boys Choir and, of course, we exposed a very different audience to barbershop singing!

From every Fella and member of Club Sandwich…a most harmonious thank you!
