Bridgend Male Choir
Last updated: 19 November 2008
Bridgend Male Choir was formed in 1960 as the Bridgend Police Choir, later becoming Bridgend and District Male Choir before evolving to become Bridgend Male Choir in 2006.
Ninety choristers now form the choir, which is a registered charity. Its aim is to support all good causes with fundraising and to undertake around 24 concerts each year, although recent years has seen that figure exceeded.
A concert choir, they regularly enter competitions to maintain their stage 'sharpness'. It also travels annually, most recently with tours in 2007 to Northern Ireland and in 2008 to the Netherlands and Belgium.
In 2006 the choir visited Germany and in each of the past seven years has included visits to Spain, Italy, Eire, Germany, France and Jersey.
In 2006 they released a CD, Live At Llandaff Cathedral, supporting Cancer Research Wales on its 40th anniversary. In the same year, they supported Katherine Jenkins at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff.
Practice is held on Thursdays each week, starting at 7.30pm at the OCLP Club, Bryntirion, Bridgend where interested singers will enjoy the Bridgend welcome.
