I can’t Believe it’s Barbershop

Sandy Turnbull has reminded us all that it is the time of year when we should start booking up for our favourite event at Edinburgh Fringe Festival – the superb annual concert from the Rolling Hills Chorus.

A weary busker steps away from the street and into a church seeking peace and quiet, but finding so much more. Inside, he stumbles upon a vibrant group of singers who turn his world upside down. They delight, misbehave, connect, and inspire. With passion, harmony, and a dash of chaos, they refresh his spirit and change his direction in the most unexpected way.

A heart-warming story from a top Scottish barbershop chorus, of how a busker’s dream came true. Mind-blowing harmonies, unexpected twists, and a cappella like you’ve never heard before!

The Chorus was formed in Galashiels in 1992, its name deriving from the rolling hills seen around the Scottish Borders. In 1995 it moved to Edinburgh, where, thy then, most of its members lived. The chorus director is Rosaling Johnson, a rising star in the UK barbershop world. With over 40 members united by a love of singing a cappella (four-part harmony), its mission is to sing well, entertain and have fun. They chorus supports good causes and have an established charity partnership with Prostate Scotland.

The Chorus is a member of The British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS) and competed at their National Convention in Harrogate in May last year becoming one of the top ten barbershop choruses in the UK.
