Nankersey Male Choir

‘Nankersey’ is the old Cornish name for the village of Flushing, near Falmouth in Cornwall. The Choir was formed in 1949 and, originally named ‘The Nankersey Glee Singers’, held their first concert in 1950. The Choir is still based in Flushing and now has some 60 members drawn from across West Cornwall. Nankersey abides by its original motto, ‘To sing for and to give pleasure’ (one of their CD titles). Under the musical direction of Elaine Tangye (Bard of the Cornish Gorsedd), the Choir has delighted audiences near and far, raising significant sums for charities, organisations and projects (in Cornwall, England and Jersey) by singing in the open air, village halls, chapels and churches and, (in company with other choirs) as part of the biennial Cornwall International Male Voice Choir Festivals and massed Choir events in the Royal Albert Hall.
