The Birmingham Male Voice Choir is a dynamic group of men from various age groups. We sing for enjoyment and entertainment, performing in four-part harmony and showcasing a diverse range of music, including classic pop hits, show tunes, and uplifting hymns.
Above all, it’s about building friendships and fostering community. We cherish the camaraderie that comes from gathering and singing together, and we warmly invite and encourage new members to join us. If you have a passion for singing and wish to enhance your vocal skills, come and be a part of our choir.
Our full name is ‘The Birmingham Canoldir and Birmingham Icknield Male Voice Choir.’ We use ‘The Birmingham Male Voice Choir’ for our performances. The full name reflects the rich history and merger of two long established and prestigious choirs: ‘The Birmingham Canoldir Male Voice Choir’ (founded in 1966) and ‘The Birmingham Icknield Male Voice Choir’ (founded in 1900).
We are always looking to share our joy of singing with other men. Rehearsals take place each Tuesday evening from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at the Welsh Chapel on the corner of Bath Street and Loveday Street in the centre of Birmingham.
Everyone is welcome so come and join us and we will introduce you to someone for mentoring and support. And if you are undecided, come anyway to observe and enjoy.
If you would like us to perform at a venue close to you, we have a fixed fee that can be easily covered by ticket sales. Our choir is quite large, typically around 40 members, and we offer a wonderfully diverse range of music to please everyone.
If you have the venue and the space, we are ready to bring our performance to you. For more information, please reach out to our Concert Secretary, Meirion Bowen.
We take great pride in representing the wonderful City of Birmingham, performing at numerous venues throughout the Midlands. From the National Memorial Arboretum to our yearly commitment to the Birmingham Air Raid Remembrance Association (BARRA).
Our shows showcase the strength and joy of male choir singing. We believe in the power of entertainment and camaraderie through music and we invite you to come and join us.
