If you are looking to host an event and need a smaller number of singers, one of our quartets may be an option for you. Amersham A Cappella is very proud of the two award-winning quartets that have formed from within the chorus
Venus Effect
Venus Effect is an exciting and vibrant quartet singing an eclectic mix of crowd-pleasing tunes including pop, rock, musicals and barbershop. Their aim is to entertain with oodles of sparkle and pizzazz! They are the proud holders of the 2019 UK LABBS Quartet silver medal.
Venus Effect began life in a black Mercedes in a car park in Telford! After 10 months of talking about 'getting together'….Suzie, Jo, Myf and Helen finally formed Venus Effect in Sept 2014….and haven't looked back since!
They won the Novice Quartet Award at their first ever national LABBS competition in 2015. They are having fantastic fun expanding their repertoire and fine-tuning (pun intended!) their 'sound' to ensure that they always put on a showstopping performance.

Something for the Weekend
Something For The Weekend was born in 2017 in our original line up with Sarah (tenor), Ali (lead), Sausage (bari) and Justine (bass). Our first time on stage was in Spain at SABS in 2018 and we were extremely chuffed to win the International quartet gold medal. We competed at LABBS in 2018 and 2019 making it through to the finals each time. During Covid, we had great fun creating silly videos (complete with Dolly Parton wigs!). After Covid, Sausage sadly stepped down as our baritone.
In January 2023, Caroline joined us as our new baritone, with a wealth of experience. She won quartet gold in 2002 at LABBS with Caboodle and at Sweet Adelines in 2011 with Flaunt! Ali is also a LABBS gold medallist from 2008 with her previous quartet, NoteOrious. Our latest additions to our trophy cabinet include the 4th placed international quartet in Ireland in 2023 and winning a lovely silver Cup for the A Cappella group category at the Watford Music Festival in 2024.
We recently ran a very successful A Cappella workshop for a Christian group retreat teaching them a whole song in 4 part harmony in an hour!
We have a large and varied repertoire and love to perform with vivacity, pzazz and a wink and a smile!
