We aim to maintain a high standard of musical performance, even though many of our members do not read music. The choir has an extensive repertoire, both of traditional male choir pieces such as Welsh hymns and operatic choruses and of more modern syncopated items. We sing largely from memory, which greatly enhances our communication with the audience and our "togetherness".
The choir stages concerts in halls and churches in South Warwickshire - either on its own or in conjunction with other local choirs or artistes. On occasions, we take part in much larger events further afield - past examples being massed male choir events at the Cardiff Arms Park rugby stadium and the VE Day 50th Anniversary Concert in Hyde Park (London). Most of the choir's concert activities are concerned with raising money for local or national charities, but entertainment is also sometimes provided for the residents of retirement homes.
We are always pleased to receive invitations to give performances in our locality. If you would like to discuss the possibility of a concert, please see the Contacts page. Please note, however, that we do not provide after-dinner entertainment.
The choir is affiliated to the National Association of Choirs.
