Ben Kimberley, Paul Williams and Bob Hodgkiss - who make up three quarters of Bianco - joined the British Champion Chorus from Sheffield at the 2015 Barbershop Harmony Society’s annual international convention in Pittsburgh, USA, this month.

And they were voted the 19th best chorus in the world.

Former Warwick School pupils Ben and Paul, both 67 and from Leamington, started singing together when they were 11.

Bianco, which also includes Terry Round, will be performing at the Warwick Folk Festival later this month.
