Welcome to the Choir Website
Choral singing in Kenfig Hill can be traced as far back as 1890 when the Kenfig Hill Male Voice Party won competitions from as far as the lovely Vale of Glamorgan to the distant coastal town of Swansea. Since those days, many choirs under the Kenfig Hill banner have come and gone. Prior to the formation of the present choir in December 1971, its predecessor was forced to disband through lack of public support in 1949.
For more than 20 years the male choral vacuum remained unfilled until a small band of hopefuls from the village met at the local rugby club and formed the present choir. It started life with just 18 members and have since grown to over 70. It travels extensively across England and Wales, singing for good causes and charities at many prestigious venues also across the seas to Southern Ireland, France, Germany, Canada and Norway. In 2004, the choir gave a series of concerts in Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, the Tri Cities of Poland, its first excursion into Eastern Europe. Such was the success the choir was invited back in 2008. Furthering its East European links the choir were invited in 2007 to sing in Tallin, Estonia.
The choir has moved its practice room to the Choral Suite at the Greenacre Motel, North Cornelly and rehearse there each Monday and Thursday evenings. Visitors who would like to come along between 7.30pm and 9pm to see the choir at work involved in the preparation of their music will be assured of a very warm welcome.
