The Reading Ladies Barbershop Singers, " The Barberettes", conducted by Joy Wheeler, sing a wide range of popular songs in unaccompanied four part harmony.

To add to our ever widening repertoire, the chorus also sing a medley of Beatles songs, specially arranged for the Barberettes in barbershop style, which is proving to be very popular with our audiences.

The Barberettes chorus is also a founder member of the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers and has consistently reached the finals of the L.A.B.B.S. annual national competition. This takes place at a week-end convention with hundreds of other lady barbershoppers from around the country.

We currently have a membership of 43 women from all walks of life; nurses, midwives, teachers, hairdressers, students, mothers, accountants who, regardless of occupation , all share a common bond; the joy of singing! The Barberettes sing at all kinds of occasions and events and also undertake a charity project on an annual basis.
