Has it really been 4 years since the previous European Championships? We are all very excited to see that it’s becoming a tradition to gather the top of European barbershop once every 4 years. This year there are 10 barbershop organizations from 6 different countries, among whom a newcomer, SABS (Spain). I am so happy that we were able to add a mixed quartet contest. In the past year we saw many new mixed quartets enter the stage. This is a truly great development. BinG! has always had a leading role in this and finally there are more barbershop organizations that embrace this addition to barbershop. Contestants and visitors will have an unforgettable weekend that includes 8 parallel contests and 3 big shows. Holland Harmony choruses and quartets will be on stage in their national contest before a European audience, how exciting! I would like to wish them lots of luck: Heel veel succes meiden en heel veel plezier! This European Convention will without a doubt inspire us all. It will bring lots of joy, goose bumps, beautiful singing and showmanship. I wish you all the very best of luck and hope that you will have a truly unforgettable weekend. A HUGE thank you goes to everyone who has made this possible and among those, most of all, the convention team, which has done an amazing job getting it all together. And what better way for me than to close off 10 years of being on the Holland Harmony board, of which 8 years as president, than with such a tremendous barbershop happening. Thank you all for your friendship and support during those years. I have enjoyed it so much, learned a lot and found so many friends. It is UNFORGETTABLE! In harmony and friendship Nelleke Dorrestijn Hello Europe, Let’s Sing! Dear Barbershop Friends Two years ago we were approached with a question: ‘Would Holland Harmony be willing and able to organize the European Barbershop Convention again?’ Of course we were very honoured with such a request and decided to take up this challenge. We feel lucky to have the same convention team on board which also organized the previous European Convention and we are confident to run a smooth convention. We expect over 1600 singers and guests enjoying numerous outstanding chorus and quartet performances. We are absolutely thrilled to have so many eminent choruses and quartets in Veldhoven. Barbershop singing is a great hobby and for many of you deeply embedded in a life style which harmonizes people all over the world. Making friends and singing together right from your heart! I encourage you to take the opportunity to meet many barbershop singers from other organizations and be inspired with new ideas and new long-lasting friendships. I especially would like to thank our sponsor Leerdamdruk for printing this fine programme booklet in full colour and Ferry Quik Reclame for its donation for our new shirts. I sincerely hope you’ll have a pleasant stay and enjoy these exciting days. On behalf of the convention team I wish you four days of fun, entertainment, competition, singing and an experience you will never forget!

Their highly anticipated sophomore album Destinations (2010) has quickly become another award-winning fan favorite. OC Times has toured extensively throughout the United States, headlining shows in venues such as Honolulu’s Historic Hawaii Theater, Los Angeles' Disney Concert Hall and the Lincoln Center in New York City. The quartet has also toured internationally with performances in Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Russia, New Zealand and Japan – upcoming engagements include their first trip to Alaska, the Netherlands, and a performance in New York’s world famous Carnegie Hall. See photos, order merchandise, listen to clips, and stay up to date at www.OCTimesQuartet.com Inspired by artists like Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra and Elvis, OC Times breathes new life into swing standards, rock and roll classics, and favorites from a variety of other genres. Hailing from Orange County, CA, Shawn York (tenor), Sean Devine (lead), Pat Claypool (baritone) and Cory Hunt (bass) take barbershop harmony back to where it started over a century ago: pop-culture. In 2008, OC Times won the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Quartet Championship. They have been featured in major publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Saturday Evening Post and SPIN magazine. The quartet is also featured prominently in a documentary film entitled American Harmony. Their first studio album, Let’s Fly (2007), has reached 6 Matthew Gifford, bass Musical Island Boys Born and raised in New Zealand, Matt still resides in the South Pacific nation's capital city of Wellington. Matt started singing barbershop at high school and studied education, music and the NZ Māori language at Victoria University of Wellington. Matt currently works for the New Zealand education department in the Māori language team. TARZAN&JANE 50% beauty, 50% men From left: Anna Rosenberg, tenor | Sofia Hagman, lead | Henrik Rosenberg, baritone | Kenneth Nilsson, bass. Tarzan&Jane was formed by sheer coincidence during the summer of 2011 prior the first ever World Mixed Championships. With clever performances and crystal clear singing the foursome got their well deserved gold medals in Dortmund, March 2012 and became the very first World Mixed Quartet Champions. Tarzan&Jane recently shared stage with Bobby Kimball, lead of the wellknown rockgroup Toto, at a prestigious gala in Helsingborg. Anna and Sofia also sing in the quartet Safari as well as in the SAI chorus Pearls of the Sound. Henrik and Kenneth sing in the quartet Q-tones and in the choruses zero8 and the Helsingborg Barberboys. TUBBS The University of Bristol Barbershop Singers (TUBBS), formed in 2006, are a mixed chorus from the UK made up of students, former students and friends. They sing a mixture of traditional barbershop and modern a cappella; both in mixed format and as separate mens and ladies choruses. At the European Barbershop Convention 2013 they will perform en masse, but they also regularly produce competing quartets, such as UK national novice champions in 2010 and 2011, QuarteTones and Park Street, who qualified as top 5 BABS quartets again this year; and have also given rise to an auditioned ensemble, HotTUBBS, who recently sang in the national final of a cappella competition, Voice Fest UK.

Very skillful, very captivating and very energetic. Vocal Six is a cappella at its best. The show contains a great deal of dialogue as well as a lot of humour, which makes for an easy atmosphere. It makes you want to join in and sing along! Our goal is to create a unique moment with the audience. Vocal Six really knows how to custom make a show with a twist.
