Wow! What a weekend! We had a fantastic time in Harrogate and we are please to say that we achieved a score of 82.6%, our best ever. Hopefully this will result in us receiving an invitation to compete at the 2017 International to be held in Las Vegas in July 2017.
The National contest was the best yet with Finest Hour taking the gold, Portobello Road, silver and The Locksmiths, the bronze. The chorus contest was won by Bolton’s Cottontown chorus with silver and bronze going to Grand Central chorus and Hallmark of Harmony respectively.
Our hearty congratulations to all the medal winners and indeed to everyone who took part in the contests.

Our Dunc will be singing with his champion mixed quartet, Hannah and the Hurricanes, in Harrogate on Saturday 12th December. It’s not too late to get tickets!

The 2015 quartet coaching days were a resounding success, so we’re doing it again!

The 2016 quartet coaching days, run by RECKLESS under the banner of the BABS Inspire Quartet Development Programme have been announced. We are limited to a maximum of 8 quartets at each venue, so book early to avoid disappointment.

If you have any questions about these coaching days, please get in touch through our “contact us” page or via FaceBook

RECKLESS will be appearing  on “Give Me A Song!”, a show hosted by The Downsmen chorus on Saturday 21st November at 7:30pm  at The Leatherhead Theatre in Surrey.  We’d love to see you there for what promises to be a great show. Then there’s the afterglow which is like a second (free) show with the addition of beer and wine!

 Update: What a fantastic show and a near sell out audience! We’d like to congratulate The Downsmen Chorus for their hard work in organising this event which ran like clockwork, and of course for inviting us to be part of it.

This coming Saturday, 7th Nov (weather permitting) we will performing on the streets of Chester for the shoppers and tourists. Keep an eye on our Facebook page here to find out exactly where and when.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Update: A first for us, but we all enjoyed it apart from the odd shower that interrupted proceedings!
