Croydon Male Voice Choir

croydon male voice choir logoThis is to let you know that our next concert is just over one month away! Croydon Male Voice Choir is singing at St John’s church in Old Coulsdon on Saturday 21 November.

This is sure to be an exciting event, as we are hosting the renowned Caernarfon Male Voice Choir from North Wales.  The Caernarfon choir is outstanding even among Welsh choirs, with their great choral tradition,  as it has won the first prize at the Welsh National Eisteddfod no fewer than nine times.

This is a return match for us as we sang with the Caernarfon choir during our North Wales tour in May.  We had a wonderful evening with the Welshmen and look forward to returning the compliment on 21 November.

The full address for our concert is St John’s, Canons Hill, Old Coulsdon, CR5 1HA.  The concert starts at our usual time of 7.30pm.  Tickets cost £10 and you can you buy them on the door.

Looking further ahead, we are staging two more concerts in December.  On Thursday 10 December we are singing at Merstham Village Hall and on Saturday 12 December we are holding our ever-popular Christmas Concert with the Croydon Welsh Society at Shirley Methodist Church – with full audience participation! Tickets for both concerts will be on sale at the door.

You may also see us at one of our customary Christmas appearances at the Whitgift Centre, on Sunday 6 December and Sunday 20 December.

We are delighted to be in touch with you again and hope to see you at one or more of these events.

With kind regards
