The Kingsmen added to their trophy cabinet for the second time in as many months following a fantastic performance at the Torbay and South West of England Music Festival on 3 rd March 2023.

The Chorus sang two beautiful songs, There Is Love Wherever There Is Song and The Way You Look Tonight. ‘There Is Love’ was written and arranged by Steve Delehanty, a member of the Westchester Chordsmen, based in Westchester, New York. The Kingsmen first performed this lovely song when touring in the USA in 2018 – a tour which culminated in singing this song with the Chordsmen as the finale to a joint concert.

Commenting on the performance at Torbay, Kingsmen MD, Gary Rowe said “I was delighted with our performance and an overall score 91, which placed us in the ‘Outstanding Category’. The feedback from the Adjudicator included ‘excellent enunciation of words’, ‘lovely spacious interpretation’, and ‘a slick and very effective ensemble’. This feedback is further evidence of all the hard work Chorus Members put in each and every week and bodes well for our next competition which is the British Association of Barbershop Singers Annual Convention, which this year is being held in May in Bournemouth”.
