Lauren Bailey - Assistant Musical Director
I have been singing acappella harmony since a small child, competing in my first competition at 11 years as a tenor and have sung every part since then, finally settling into baritone, though have competed as a Bass in a quartet with my mum, which was lots of fun. I have also competed in a worldwide young women in harmony barbershop competition in Manchester as a Bass, where we placed 6th. Being involved in Sweet Adelines and Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS) over the years, I have a passion for encouraging young people to find the joy and love of singing acappella harmonies, helping to set up school groups, supporting wokshops and recently I am honoured to have been appointed as the LABBS Youth Competing Chorus Director, which will be competing in Harrogate in October 2025. I am very proud to be the Assistant Musical Director and the Team Leader for the fabulous Acappella Sound. Over the past four years, this group has grown into a beautiful singing family, welcoming all ages and all abilities and I love to play my part in helping to bring them together to make wonderful music.
