A Handbag of Harmonies
A Handbag of Harmonies is a choir of vivacious women from Chester who create a party wherever they go. With pink feather boas and glitzy handbags, we sing in four-part harmony with dazzling choreography and guarantee to leave audiences with smiles on their faces. More info

February Road Trip
Handbags travelled to Bury St Edmunds, where choir member the fabulous Keddy Sutton is starring in Shirley Valentine at the beautiful regency Theatre Royal – we were delighted to sing before and after this fantastic show. Big pic
