This award winning Cornish male voice ensemble will entertain us with a programme of songs from stage and screen.
October 2023 -- For immediate release
The ensemble was formed in 2014 by their musical director, Alastair Taylor, to perform the winning entry of the Cornwall International Male Choral Festival composer’s competition. From that moment on the ensemble acquired the singing ‘bug’ and hasn’t looked back since. The group performs a wide range of music including pop and rock classics, songs from the shows, folk, traditional choral and big band swing. The ensemble has performed all over the County including the magnificent Minack theatre at Porthcurno plus several appearances at Truro Cathedral, including one performance where they sang with internationally renowned tenor John Trelevan.
Despite the relative infancy of the choir they have achieved considerable success in several competitions including the Edgar Kessell Gold Cup for best overall choir in the County Music Festival at the first attempt. The choir has twice won at the Camborne Music Festival including special awards for best overall choir, highest mark and best performance at the festival. At the 2019 International Male Choral Festival, held in Truro Cathedral, the choir was the best UK choir in their category and the best Cornish choir overall which was then exceeded at the same festival in 2022 when it won four trophies including best UK overall and best Cornish choir in the Festival.
