Male Voice Choir
Formed in 1948 the choir still maintains a number of unique qualities thanks to its ties to the police service, including its mandate to help reinforce the caring side of the police service being vividly demonstrated as it tours the region helping local charities and groups raise many thousands of pounds a year towards their good causes.
If you feel the choir could help your charity / good cause to raise funds, please do not hesitate to contact the secretary, whose details are shown on the contacts page. The choir will, normally, be only too pleased to help you, but please be aware that we do not, generally, perform concerts during the summer months, i.e. May, June, July, and August, and also note that we are required to charge for our services, to allow us to maintain the funds that we require to keep the choir solvent. However, in recognition to the fact that concert organisers are trying to raise money themselves, we do try to keep these costs to a minimum.
The choir is always looking for suitable new members, and potential recruits are always welcome to visit our rehearsals which are held in this hall every Tuesday evening at 7pm (except during July and the first two weeks in August). Members are no longer required to have direct ties with the police service, we simply ask that they are “of good character” and have a love of singing.
The choir operates a mailing list to advise "friends" of major events, and to facilitate booking for the concerts held here at Police Headquarters, if you would like to be included, please contact the secretary. Please note that the choir does not normally act as ticket agent for concerts away from Police Headquarters, tickets for which can be obtained from the organisers.
