The Mendip Male Voice Choir is pleased to announce a series of varied summer concerts.

The first, a joint concert with the choir from SWALLOW, a charity that supports teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, is on May 13th at St Nicholas’s Church, Radstock from 16.30-18.00pm. SWALLOW, which celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year, runs the adjacent Community Café at St Nicholas’s which is going to open from 3pm to provide cream teas to concert goers (pre-booking necessary). The 13th is also the date of the Eurovision Song Contest Final, so why not come along to enjoy the event, get in the mood for Eurovision and help raise money for this fantastic charity!

Further concerts are: 10th June Timsbury Village Day at the Conygre Hall, Timsbury 3pm-4pm,

24th June Holy Trinity Church, Paulton 7:15pm,

1st July Joint Concert with Chippenham Male Voice Choir at St Andrews Church Chippenham 7:30pm,

21st July Annual Summer Concert at Midsomer Norton Methodist Church 7:30pm.

The MMVC, which started in 1919 as the Timsbury Male Voice Choir has around sixty members, performs around twelve concerts a year and practices most Mondays from 19.30-21.30pm at St Marys’s School Timsbury.

Musical Director, Jamie Knights, said: “There is no audition to join the Choir, no need to be able to read music and the first term is free.”
