About Meantime Chorus

2022 UK Barbershop Chorus Champions! Whether you choose the full chorus or our talented quartets, we’ll make your occasion unforgettable
A cappella group
London
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Meantime Chorus is one of Britain’s top a cappella ensembles. Since our founding in 2015 we have serenaded wedding receptions, sung on top of the o2 Arena, appeared on television, and finished 11th in the world at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention 2023. For events that have the space, the full chorus is an astonishing spectacle and is guaranteed to provide that “wow!” factor. However, we believe everyone deserves the Meantime experience, and so we also provide groups of varying size for events where space is limited. We would be delighted to discuss your event with you and recommend some options. We have a varied repertoire including love songs, upbeat songs, musical theatre ballads and traditional and contemporary barbershop. If a custom arrangement is required, this may also be commisioned. Many of the chorus are based in London, but please don’t hesitate to enquire about performances further afield. If we can’t fulfil your request ourselves we may be able to recommend groups in your region. If you are looking for a vocal ensemble to set your event apart, then look no further than Meantime Chorus.

I can't really put into words how sensational these guys really are. They sang for the first half of our 50th birthday and were absolutely amazing bringing class, humour and energy to our event. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any event.

I hired the guys as a barbershop quartet for a marriage proposal on the weekend. The guys were super quick in coming back to me, and arranging everything and performed the song I requested superbly. Not a dry eye in the house. Amazing! Made our special moment truly incredible.

A barbershop quartet from Meantime Chorus were a great addition to our 1920s Style Boardwalk Event. They brought an authentic sound and their outfits and interaction with public created some great photos.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

They love the sound of 4-part acapella harmony which is delivered by the barbershop style.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Westfield London Institute of Chartered Accountants Britain's Got Talent The O2 Arena Great Ormond Street Hospital Manchester Cathedral Harrogate Convention Centre

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Ringmasters Vocal Spectrum Pentatonix Westminster Chorus

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We sang for several hours on top of the O2 arena. We also did a private performance for the judges of Britain's Got Talent.

Do you have different line-up options?

As we are a chorus, we are able to field many different barbershop quartets. Some of our quartets are established quartets that regularly compete at the national level.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Not to worry, we shall try to be as flexible as possible.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

No

How much time do you need to set up?

If singing without amplification, we can just run on and sing. If we are using our sound system, it'd take 10 minutes to set up.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes, barbershop is well suited for this.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

If there are specific song requests, we will try to accomodate them.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes. In general, we do not require amplification. However in certain circumstances, it can be beneficial and thus we have a completely portable PA system that we take with us to gigs.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, even if a song isn't in our song list, we have many very talented arrangers that will be able to write together a barbershop arrangement of the song. This would usually increase the price however.
