Four friends started it in 1901. We’ve been singing ever since.
The choir was formed after four local men heard a party of Welsh miners sing in Oakengates and decided Hadley should have a choir of its own. What began as a quartet became one of the most celebrated male choirs in the country — and the only English choir ever to win the Welsh National Eisteddfod three times.
Today we’re a friendly group of around forty men of all ages, still doing what the choir has always done: singing well, raising money for good causes, and enjoying every minute of it.
