In its 70th anniversary year, Beverley Male Voice Choir seeks new members to help lay the foundations for the next 70 years!

Beverley Male Voice Choir celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2025 and is marking the occasion with a series of special concerts and initiatives to lay the foundations for the next 70 years.

The choir, which was established in 1955 and is a longstanding and well-regarded part of the East Riding’s cultural scene, is starting the year on a mission to recruit new members to help bring new voices to the singing group and to grow the next generation of choir members.

Musical Director, Liz Wilson, who also celebrates her 25th anniversary in the role this year, said “It seems only right that as we begin our 70th year, we should focus on making sure we have enough members to sustain and develop the choir, so that future generations can enjoy both being part of Beverley Male Voice Choir or listening to the impressive sound they make! Any gentleman of any age who likes to sing in the shower, hum along to the radio or who loves karaoke would, I’m sure, really love singing with us!”

Singing in a choir brings many benefits, including friendship and the potential to improve your well-being. Many choir members claim that singing helps with stress reduction, improves breathing, and enhances your memory, mental capacity and personal confidence levels.

The choir’s repertoire is very diverse, with something for all tastes and generations including pop and rock classics, songs from stage and screen and more typical male voice choir pieces. There’s no audition process and no previous experience or knowledge of music is required. Those that can read music are provided with full scores and all members have access to tailored recordings to help them learn their part.

Beverley Male Voice Choir rehearses at Toll Gavel United Church in Beverley every Monday evening from 7.15pm to 9pm. Potential new members can simply turn up to watch a rehearsal and meet Liz and the choir to find out more.
