London Welsh Male Voice Choir was formed in 1902 and quickly gained a reputation for excellence in performance and success in competition in England, Wales and Paris. Disrupted by the two World Wars, the choir was re-established in 1961 and now has over one hundred members.
The choir has sung at many of Britain’s most prestigious concert halls and cathedrals, has appeared twice at the Royal Variety Command Performance and has recorded with Charlotte Church, Aled Jones and Bryn Terfel. In contrast, the choir has also been the backing group to the pop band Take That at Earls Court. In the sporting arena it has thrilled crowds at many stadiums, including the Stade de France, Paris, Twickenham, Lord's Cricket Ground and the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony. In August 2007 it became the first male voice choir to sing at the new Wembley Stadium prior to the Rugby League Cup Final and has also sung many times at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, prior to Wales’s home rugby international matches. In addition, besides touring extensively throughout England, Scotland and Wales, the Choir has performed in fourteen countries.
