For the second year running, Grand Central finished 6th in the BABS male chorus competition, with a score almost identical to last year. A tiny bit disappointing not to edge past last year’s mark, but we were genuinely happy with our performance and had a brilliant weekend in Harrogate.

It also means Grand Central maintains its record of never finishing lower than 6th, which says a lot about our consistency and standards over many years.

This year’s chorus included six former Lionheart singers, who worked very hard to qualify. One described it as “the experience of a lifetime”, which was great to hear.

It also gave us our biggest chorus on stage since before COVID and made us one of the largest choruses competing this year. Numbers aren’t everything, but it’s encouraging to see the chorus growing significantly

Most importantly, everyone gave their all, supported each other brilliantly, and had a fantastic weekend together. Here's the link to our performance. If you fast forward this stream for about 90 mins, you will find us:
