We enjoy singing a wide range of music, from pop, jazz, folk to contemporary. There is something for
everybody!
With our inspirational musical director and talented accompanists, music-making is fun from your very first rehearsal.
Founded in 1923, Haydock are your local community choir with a rich singing heritage. We’re a friendly group of like-minded men of all ages and backgrounds. We perform our own concerts, collaborate and even travel.
“I was invited by Chairman, Derek Parr, after hearing me sing in church. I declined for sometime pleading pressure of work and my perceived inability to sing well enough. However, after accepting an invitation to a concert I was overwhelmed by the magnificent sound and joined immediately. From then on I have enjoyed wonderful camaraderie and been privileged to be part of a brilliant choral experience with Haydock, and jointly with many other choirs.”
“My association with male voice choirs started aged 13 when my voice broke. I joined Rossendale Male Voice Choir after being encouraged by my school music teacher. I spent seven happy years with them, a very successful choir and it was an education in how to sing, but a change in career saw me leave the Rossendale Valley for Widnes.
Singing came to an end until I took early retirement and a chance viewing of Songs of Praise one evening rekindled my interest after hearing a Welsh Male Voice choir on the programme. I joined a local male voice choir and spent ten years with them, but circumstances saw me leave and come to Haydock three and a half years ago.
I would say to anyone, come and give it a go, you don’t have to read music, you won’t have to audition in front of other members, nor do you have to be a soloist. I am sure that you will enjoy the company and the banter.”
