====== About Us ======
QuarteTones are a young a cappella quartet who mostly sing in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_music|barbershop]] style. We started singing together through [[http://www.tubbs.org.uk|The University of Bristol Barbershop Singers]], the original idea for the quartet being born sometime over the university summer break of 2009. Our [[/members|line-up]] was finalised around November that year.

{{/quartetones_2011_05_llandudno.jpg?300&nolink |(c)2011 Event-Photos (http://www.event-photos.co.uk/)}}After qualifying for the semi-finals of the [[http://www.singbarbershop.com|BABS]] National Quartet Competition in November 2010, QuarteTones were awarded the Sheng Pitchpipe: The Novice Quartet Trophy for the highest placing novice quartet at the 2011 convention in Llandudno. Later that year we qualified for semi-finals again, and we're currently in seventh place as we go into this year's convention in Southport.

We're also all members of the prestigious [[http://www.greatwesternchorus.com|Great Western Chorus of Bristol]], and hold 2010 Chorus Champion gold medals for our part in the GWC's winning package at the BABS annual convention.

Our [[/repertoire|repertoire]] consists of a wide range of songs; from classic four-part harmonies from the 1900s, to modern barbershop classics and show-stopping musical numbers.
