The Choir

Barry Male Voice Choir is an amateur choir based in the South Wales seaside town of Barry. The choir are a friendly group of men who enjoy singing a variety of musical styles; from traditional Welsh songs to more contemporary numbers.

The choir have a professional conductor and accompanist. They mainly perform in local churches and other venues whereby the proceeds of the performances go to local charities.

The choir itself is also a registered charity.

Despite two world wars, the advent of radio and television and all the other social changes, Barry Male Voice Choir has been involved in one hundred and ten years of unbroken music making.

From its humble beginnings as a party of twelve men it grew to be a choir of more than one hundred strong. In the early days the emphasis was on competitions and the success achieved was considerable. In recent years this has changed to supporting worthwhile causes by giving concerts to assist in raising funds for various charities and organisations.

The choir are always on the lookout for new members, so if you would like to become part of the choir’s current membership then why not pay a visit to their friendly rehearsal room at the bottom of Trinity Street in Barry. Rehearsals take place between 7.30pm and 9.30pm on Monday and Thursday evenings. For more information please contact the choir’s secretary on 07925 878669 or email us using this form.
