History of The Cotswold Male Voice Choir
The Cotswold Male Voice Choir, formed in 1949, has become a well known part of the music scene in the Midlands and the South West. The choir was recently described on radio as “A happy band of singers who put on great male voice choir shows and also have a successful social life.”
Choir Tours and Highlights
In addition to many local events including concerts at Tewkesbury Abbey and Gloucester Cathedral, in the past year the Choir has performed in the French Alps at Annecy, in Wales with three Welsh choirs, in York’s Guildhall at the invitation of the Mayor of York, and twice at the Malvern Music Festivals.
Something for Everyone
The choir sings a broad repertoire including male voice choir favourites, classic and operatic, big show numbers and popular music.
Charity Concerts
The majority of Cotswold Male Voice Choir concerts support good causes. Over the years, this has accounted for many thousands of pounds raised for charities.
Weddings and Corporate Events
More recently, the Choir began singing at corporate events and at weddings, entertaining the congregation before the arrival of the bride and during the signing of the register. The male voice singers also lend a powerful hand to the singing of the hymns. This has proved very popular.

2007 Highlights
Having toured to Annecy in the French Alps in 2006, this year the Choir has sung in Wales and York as well as many local concerts. At the invitation of the Mayor of York, we held a charity concert in York's Guildhall this April. In May, the Choir travelled to Pontypool to sing with three Welsh choirs, supporting their local cancer hospital. In August, the Choir appeared with the English Symphony Orchestra at the Malvern Music Experience, following an appearance at the Three Counties Show in June.
