  • Choir News and Updates

    Welcome to the official platform for all the latest news and concert information from our choir! We are excited to keep you informed about our performances, events, and the wonderful music we create together. Plus our Maestro Series by Mr Matthew Thomas MD.



    This is a choir with both a great history and, we believe, a great future. In 2024 we will celebrate a hundred years since we were founded by Fred Tomlinson. He took a group of local singers and made of them a choir which, among other honours, would go on to win the Llangollen Eisteddfod an unprecedented THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES (1952-54)

    Fred led the choir for over 50 years before handing the baton to his son, Ernest, an accomplished arranger and composer. We won more competitions later under the 24-year leadership of Beatrice Wade, and her successors, until our current maestro, Matthew Thomas, took over the reins in 2015. Matthew has brought a 21-st century approach to our repertoire, adding a more theatrical element and delivering excellent performances at concerts and competitions, winning “Song of the Competition” at the Cornwall International Choir Festival 2019, and more recently, the Lancashire Choir of The Year Award 2022.

    But it’s not only competitions we take seriously. Our love of singing starts here in the Valley, where we regularly perform to raise funds for local charities, which also gives us the chance to let our hair down a little and really entertain our friends and neighbours. As well as our true choir repertoire Matthew has now developed “The Irwell Shantymen”, a parallel group offering a more varied menu of musical offerings.
