Jul 31 2008 Chester Chronicle

CELEBRITIES like a bit of pampering and Chester’s own TV stars are no exception.

Singers from the jazz/blues women’s choir A Handbag of Harmonies have been enjoying an array of complimentary beauty treatments in preparation for their big television appearance on Saturday night.

The choir is down to the final 15 of BBC1’s latest talent show Last Choir Standing and will battle it out with four other choirs for a place in the live shows.

Glow Beauty Salon in Lower Bridge Street opened its doors on Sunday to treat all 50 “Handbags”, as the choir is affectionately known.

Full story with pictures in Friday’s edition of The Chronicle.

And don’t forget to tune in to see how the Handbags fare in the final heat of Last Choir Standing on BBC 1 on Saturday, August 2 at 6.25pm.
