The Croydon Male Voice Choir has been singing for more than 40 years. From modest beginnings, when we advertised for recruits in newsagents’ shop-windows, we have grown to our current strength of almost 70 members. We sing at a variety of venues, from local halls and churches to the Royal Festival Hall.
We have a rich and diverse repertoire, including British and American folk song, hit numbers from the great musicals, resounding English and Welsh hymns, American spirituals, classical pieces from opera, and great set pieces such as the Hallelujah Chorus.
We take part in festivals and tours, and have competed in the prestigious international choir competition in Truro, Cornwall. Our increase in size has gone hand-in-hand with ever-rising standards and ambitions, enabling us to be ranked among the most accomplished male voice choirs in Britain.
