    Cottontown is honoured to sing at LABBS 2023 Convention Show
    LABBS 2023 Convention - Saturday Evening Show

    Cottontown was honoured to be able to perform as current BABS male chorus champions at the Saturday night show of the LABBS 2023 Convention. Whenever we've had the opportunity to take part in this event, we've always keenly looked forward to it, and we've thoroughly enjoyed it - 2023 was no exception and we offer our humble thanks to LABBS for its invitation. We love entertaining, and the LABBS audience is particularly warm and welcoming. Our show set comprised 'That Ever I Saw', 'Running Up that Hill', 'Viva La Vida' and, to top things off, our May 2023 contest winning songs of 'The Party's Over' and 'Song For The Older Guy'.
