Chorus Iceni (formerly Colne Harmony) was formed in 1979 by a small group of ladies. The group is made up of women from all walks of life and backgrounds, though all with one common interest; making music and having fun.

The chorus has long been a member of the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS) and regularly competes in their national competition. This takes place each year and is held in venues across the country from Harrogate to Bournemouth.
We have taken part in and won our class at many local music festivals over the years. But we don't sit on our laurels, oh no, we work hard with our musical directors and outside coaches to continuously improve our standard of singing.
The chorus has a history of entertaining performance and, as well as putting on our own shows, we get booked to appear as guests at many types of staged event. We are committed to entertaining as broad a cross section of the community as possible and take great pleasure in singing for those in care homes.
