The members of the board, music and performance teams listed below will be glad to answer any questions you may have. You will be most helped by asking those who you think are best equipped to answer your question (for example, for matters regarding finances we recommend speaking to our Finance Director, questions of a musical nature to your section). If you don't know who to ask, contact whomever you feel comfortable messaging and we will try our best to point you in the right direction.

Central London Barbershop Harmony Club is the Charity that houses Meantime Chorus - a simply way to think of it is that Central London Barbershop Harmony Club (CLBHC) is our official name, and Meantime Chorus is our trading name. We are a registered Charity.
