Another fantastic result for the Kingsmen!

The Kingsmen added to their trophy cabinet for the second time in as many months following a fantastic performance at the Torbay and South West of England Music Festival on 3 rd March 2023.

The Chorus sang two beautiful songs, There Is Love Wherever There Is Song and The Way You Look Tonight. ‘There Is Love’ was written and arranged by Steve Delehanty, a member of the Westchester Chordsmen, based in Westchester, New York. The Kingsmen first performed this lovely song when touring in the USA in 2018 – a tour which culminated in singing this song with the Chordsmen as the finale to a joint concert.

Commenting on the performance at Torbay, Kingsmen MD, Gary Rowe said “I was delighted with our performance and an overall score 91, which placed us in the ‘Outstanding Category’. The feedback from the Adjudicator included ‘excellent enunciation of words’, ‘lovely spacious interpretation’, and ‘a slick and very effective ensemble’. This feedback is further evidence of all the hard work Chorus Members put in each and every week and bodes well for our next competition which is the British Association of Barbershop Singers Annual Convention, which this year is being held in May in Bournemouth”.

Marathon Support to the Chairmans Charity

By Andrew Large • January 20, 2026

So, in the words of Jim Stewart, why would a 67 year old who hasn't even completed a "couch to 5k" run in a Marathon, let alone the Madrid event, one of the hilliest on the circuit? Jim has chosen to take up this challenge to run and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK, this is the Kingsmen Chairmans Charity this year and so we are all throwing all of our support behind Jim. Here's why Jim chosen to run and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK "I recently sat in my GP’s office after a PSA test. My results were ‘normal,’ yet I was told not to take 'comfort' in that. The PSA is only an indication, not a diagnosis, and it left me with a chilling realization: 'normal' doesn’t always mean 'safe.'" Prostrate Cancer UK's mission is: Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer. Jim has set up a justgiving page which can be found at: https://www.justgiving.com/page/kingsmen-jim Jim also has his own Marathon Blog: https://marathonfundraiserforprostatecancer.blogspot.com/p/home.html Please visit these pages and if you can support Jim in this wild endeavour then please do so.
