Who are the White Rosettes?

The White Rosettes are a Leeds-based female barbershop chorus. In October 2022 they won the LABBS National Ladies Chorus Championship for an unprecedented 17^th time and have been European Ladies’ Barbershop Chorus Champions three times!

Under the direction of Sally McLean, The White Rosettes aim to push the boundaries of technical excellence, musicality and performance, and achieve this by entering prestigious national and international competitions and performing both in the UK and mainland Europe. The chorus sings a range of styles, from strict barbershop, to jazz, gospel and show classics.

In 2024 The White Rosettes competed at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Contest in Cleveland becoming the first LABBS chorus ever to compete in this contest.

That's a wrap! It was the last night of our Love to Sing course tonight. Our graduating visitors did a cracking job with us on our course song - 'One Day Like This' - for their audience of family and friends. Congratulations to all! Good job, well done!

It was our AGM last night (more to follow on that) and the first time we'd all had chance to be together with Zoe Gibson following the death of her lovely Mum, and our friend and riser-mate, supporter, fund-raiser and all around amazing, through and through barbershopper, Gail Grainger. We send our love and hugs and very best wishes to the whole family. Thanks for the many fabulous memories xx
