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.

🎶 An incredible contest in Denver has drawn to a close! Many congratulations to the new BHS International Chorus and Quartet champions, Vocal Majority and Lemon Squeezy. 🌟

And BHS have already got videos uploaded to their YouTube channels - so you can binge watch the champion performances - we can’t wait to watch all the incredible contestants from the 2025 stage.

Huge congratulations to all medalists (special shout out to Ami Quartet for their 4th place Bronze in the NextGen Varsity contest) and all who crossed the stage and performed in the contest.

Huge thanks of course to BHS for putting on another superb week of Barbershop music!

And for the British contingent - we hope you loved your BHS experience and thank you for flying the flag and being incredible ambassadors for British barbershop 👏👏👏

🎶 We held another Open Rehearsal last night - so that guests can come and watch The White Rosettes ‘behind the scenes’ and see how we learn and practice 🥰

We welcomed a very special visitor - Anita - all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪

Anita sings with Athlone A Cappella and was in the UK visiting family and friends. Thank you so much Anita for taking the time to come and visit us too - we hope you enjoyed it (especially singing warm-ups, Anthem and learning a tag on the risers with us!)

🎶 Always great to host our barbershop friends💃🏻
