Who are the Hartlepool Male Voice Choir?
Committee
Chairman: Ray Sanderson
Secretary: Glenn Murphy
Treasurer: Richard Moody
The Choir
The choir currently has 45 members, with an age range of 30-something to over 80. We have one member who has been with the choir since its early beginning!
The committee comprises of a Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and several other members who perform other duties such as fund raising, etc.
The choir is always looking for new members and anyone who wants to give it a go is more than welcome to come along to our rehearsal venue (The Corner Flag) on a Monday night, have a pint (soft drinks are also available) and see what it’s all about. Singing is from 19:30 to 21:30. We have several new members that are waiting for auditions (very straight forward) to become fully fledged members of the choir.
