Barbershop singing is a distinctive and under-documented facet of Britain's musical landscape. In this, the first in-depth scholarly insight into the British barbershop community, Liz Garnett documents and analyses the social and musical practices of this specialized community of music-makers. The book explores the role of harmony, ritual, sexual politics, performance styles and 'tag-singing' in barbershop, and extends this analysis to theorize the relationship between music and self-identity.
