'Moves' is the second CD by 1999-2000 champion British Barbershop chorus CCC, and it gets off on the right foot with a hilarious 'Mother-In-Law Medley' that puts new words and meanings to 'Yes Sir, That's My Baby,' 'Our Love Is Here to Stay' and 'Hello Mother, Hello Father.' 13 winning tunes follow, some favorites: the classic 'Blue Velvet,' 'Just A Cottage Small,' 'Here's That Rainy Day,' 'Sunday Medley,' 'All the Things You Are,' 'Blue Shadows on the Trail,' the folk hit 'Today' (While the Blossoms Still Cling to the Vine), 'I Wish You Love,' the Motown hit 'My Girl,' and 'Last Laugh Medley.' We like to think of CCC as the 'Little David' chorus, 40 guys outsinging choruses 2 or 3 times their size. 'Moves' is great entertainment by a very special Barbershop chorus from Britain! |

40-strong, all male Cambridge Chord Company (CCC), the 1999-2000 champion British Barbershop chorus, has probably won more awards than any other chorus of its kind since it sang its first harmonies 12 years ago. In 1994 CCC became the first small chorus ever to win the Silver Medal at the British Association of Barbershop Singers' (BABS) annual convention. Often competing against choirs four or five times their size, CCC were BABS silver medalists three times, BABS Chorus Champions in 1999 and 2002, Millennium Joint Barbershop Harmony Chorus Champions 2000 and European Champions in 2001. In July 2003 CCC placed 11th in the International Barbershop Competition in Montreal, the highest place a British Chorus has ever achieved! Here are 13 spirited songs from the group's repertoire-some nice medleys, including 'Sweet Sixteen Medley,' 'Button Up Medley' and 'Tramp Medley.' 'Roses of Picardy,' 'Do I Love You?,' an impressive 'My Funny Valentine,' a very funny 'Welsh Rhapsody,' 'Raining In My Heart,' 'My Ship,' 'Ol' Man River,' 'Shangri-La' and the title tune, 'Teddy Bear's Picnic.' This is powerful, ringing, funny-the stuff great live performances are made of. British Barbershop is coming! |

These four talented women began their musical journey in September of 1994. By their 10th anniversary they had earned 4 Regional Championships and competed six times in the Sweet Adelines International Quartet Contest, placing as high as 24th. 'Keepin'' is the group's debut album, 14 spirited, personalized takes on chestnuts like 'Blue Skies,' 'Lazy River,' 'Don't Break the Heart that Loves You,' 'It's a Good Day,' 'Two Tickets to Georgia' medley, 'Miss Celie's Blues,' 'Lullabye of Birdland,' 'You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby,' 'Your Make Me Feel So Young' and the final cut, 'That's How You Jazz.' An impressive debut, and some very nice Sweet Adelines harmonies and ringing chords from Chord Company. |
