We are London City Singers (LCS), an award-winning and diverse a cappella chorus based in the heart of London.

We have been invited to represent the UK at the international barbershop singing competition in July 2026 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. We’re raising funds to help cover the costs of getting there, and we would be deeply grateful for any contribution you can make. It’s going to be an expensive endeavour and, as you can imagine, with our members coming from a wide range of ages and life circumstances, not everyone can afford to self-fund.

Founded in 2007, our chorus has gone from strength to strength, earning numerous accolades and pushing artistic boundaries along the way. Under the direction of our fantastic Musical Director, Simon Arnott, we have become one of the leading barbershop choruses in the UK.

In St. Louis, we shall be representing the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS) following our bronze medal at the LABBS convention in October 2024. Thank you, LABBS, for our nomination!

We are thrilled and proud to have been given this opportunity to compete with barbershop choruses from around the world! Our aim is to deliver another of our cutting-edge performances, which have previously earned us awards for both our singing and entertainment.

We’d love for all our members to be there, and we don’t want cost to be the reason someone misses out. We’re extremely grateful for your support in helping us reach our fundraising goal.

Should we be fortunate enough to exceed it, any additional funds will support future opportunities for LCS to share our joy of singing on the international stage.

Thank you from all of us at LCS!
