About

Background

The Ivy League was formed at the beginning of 2007 as the youth chorus of the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS). Now in its fifth year and funded jointly in cooperation with Sweet Adelines, the Ivy League continues to provide a grass-roots introduction into the lively UK barbershop community.

Why are we called the IVY League?

The IVY stands for "Incredible Vocal Youth", it's as simple as that!
