Crackerjack, a female Barbershop quartet from Leeds was proud to receive the title of 1999
National Quartet Champions at the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers' Convention,
held in Harrogate. This ultimate accolade was the highlight of the quartet's two and a half year
existence, following bronze medals in 1997 and silver medals in 1998.
Jo Braham, lead singer, has been involved in the Barbershop world since the age of five,
alongside her parents, and originally hails from Leicester. Jo is married to Tim (also a
Barbershopper) and has two children. Jo has followed in her fathers' footsteps, proudly becoming Assistant Musical
Director of a National Champion chorus, in Jo's case, The White Rosettes.
Bass, Pauline Winn, attended dancing school at an early age and has always had a love
of the stage. Pauline has been a member of The White Rosettes for ten years, and has sung bass
with previously successful quartets. Pauline is married to Rowland and has three children and six grandchildren.
Louise Williams, baritone, caught the 'Barbershop bug' from her sister Debbie, also
member of a past Champion Quartet. Louise began singing Barbershop Harmony in the early
Nineties after moving to Leeds from the south to attend University.
Tenor, Annmarie Connett, is originally from the West Midlands, also moving to Yorkshire
to undertake a degree at University. Annmarie is an English graduate and is married to Lee. In 2003 they moved
to Canada.
