Hometown Quartet formed in 2016 from members of the Harbour. Capital Chorus. After singing for a couple of years with Antony on Tenor and ex-member Gregor on Baritone, Gregor's life became more interesting with new family and a new house, and he left the quartet. Antony switched to Baritone (his normal part), and we welcomed Jack into Tenor.
Since then, the quartet has sung at a number of venues and events, including supporting the annual Save The Children fundraiser at the British Ambassador's residence.
