A Basingstoke-based choir secured four accolades competing against choirs across the county at Fareham Music Festival.

Hampshire Harmony drove to Fareham for the music competition marking its 80th anniversary, which was packed with lively performances from a variety of choirs.

As the festival began early on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, the choir, dressed for a formal evening event, performed shortly after 9am.

The choir showcased their talent by singing a total of nine pieces and competing in four classes.

These included the Single Voice Choir section, Light Opera or Songs from the Shows, Choral Sacred Song, and a Programme of Songs in Contrasting Styles.

They achieved honours in each of the categories they entered despite strong competition from across the county.

They secured a win in the Cup for Choral Sacred Song for the second year in a row.

Appreciation was extended to musical director Clare Oliver and Jonathan Hedgecock for their expert guidance and accompaniment.

Hampshire Harmony will perform at The Lights in Andover, singing with Tenors Unlimited on Thursday, June 11.

The choir will also perform their annual summer concert, 'A Summer Serenade', at Costello School, Basingstoke, on the afternoon of Sunday, July 12.
