Barbershop Floods the Airwaves in Northumberland
|
|
Ontario's newest chapter, the
Ganaraska Chordsmen, has an ace up their sleeve when it comes to marketing. Every Thursday morning barbershop and a cappella music flood the airwaves of Northumberland County, spreading the barbershop artform to residents starting their days at home or on their commute to work. A weekly radio show,
The Acappella Fellas, airs from 7:30 to 8:00am on Northumberland 89.7, a community-owned and run station staffed by volunteers.

In honour of their retirement, this month we're featuring
Shaken Not Stirred's hilarious Egyptian set, from the semi-final round of the Ontario District 2012 Spring Convention.
