Cotswold Male Voice Choir Shanty Band

On Saturday 4th June 2023, the Cotswold Male Voice Choir will include rousing seafaring songs from their extensive repertoire. For over 70 years the Choir has been entertaining audiences at charity concerts, weddings and corporate events. Choir members say it is a “Win-Win” formula because they are doing something they love while helping good causes at the same time.

The choir is based in Cheltenham’s Dean Close School but performs throughout Gloucestershire and neighboring counties. Venues vary from large to small, from concert halls to village halls and all sizes between. If you are interested in singing, come along to a Wednesday rehearsal night. There is no audition and you do not need to know how to read music. Moreover, you will be made very welcome. People are often amused to learn that a choir of 50 men is managed by half a dozen ladies.
