Much Wenlock Male Voice Choir

On Saturday 6th August the choir performed at the wedding of Nick and Lisa Frost at St Marys RC Church in Shifnal, by special invitation of the bride and groom, singing a selection of songs prior to the ceremony and three pieces in Welsh during the signing of the register. The guests were also treated to traditional Scottish bagpipe playing as the bride entered the church and at the completion of the marriage.

After the service the bride said “your choir’s contribution to my wedding made it special and everybody commented on how fabulous you were. I felt that your contribution really made our service that extra bit personal and entertaining at the same time….you really were absolutely brilliant and Father John was also particularly impressed!”

The choir would be pleased to take bookings for other couples who want to make their special day that extra bit special! See the contact page for details of how to get in touch.

Members of the choir presented a concert at the Lady Forrester Nursing Home, Much Wenlock, on Sunday 24th July 2011. The concert was staged in appreciation of the high standard of care afforded to one of their members, Mr Colin Ryder. Colin suffered a stroke while on holiday in Turkey and has been convalescing at the home, following his repatriation to the UK by air ambulance. During the concert he was brought into the choir in his regular spot making a significant and most welcome contribution to the bass section. After refreshments, patients, relatives and guests joined in a programme of community singing accompanied by Nick Mitchell on piano accordion.
