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.

Last night we welcomed the inimitable Barbara Lewis back to 'the gym' on the warmest of the night of the year. We wanted to celebrate her 90 glorious years with her, to sing her a special Happy Birthday and to say thank you for all she has done, and continues to do for the chorus. She bakes cakes for us on a regular basis and makes the personalised and very wonderful cards that each Rosette is given on their first-timer performance - and keeps, forever. It was great to hear some of the old stories and to catch up with former members Lorraine Baisbrown and Sharon King too, in such fabulous form.

Visiting Fountains Abbey | Yorkshire

Christmas is seeing the abbey sparkle. Immerse yourself in some Winter Tales and as the afternoon light starts to fade, take a wander through the ruins aglow.
