The Choir was formed in 1949 originating in the Village of Garndiffaith, located in the eastern edge of the South Wales Coalfield. Horace Carter, Musician and local businessman established the Choir as a competition choir in the "Glee" category, this being a choir staging up to forty voices. It soon became a success in local Eisteddfdaiand and in National Competitions. During this period of twenty-severn years the choir was fortunate to have the same Musical Team and Chairman.

 

 

 

The Choir continued to thrive establishing a more social outlook in participating in National Male Voice Concerts, and frequent concert tours to Germany, Canada and U.K. Venues. The Choir continues the long standing Tradition of holding an Annual Remembrance Concert, inviting local dignitaries and fine soloists from the Welsh National Opera. The Concert is held on the Saturday evening prior to Armistice Sunday at the Garndiffaith Millennium Hall.

 

 

During the lifetime of the Choir fortunately we have had only three musical directors, Horace Carter, Gethin Banfield and John Jolley. Presently Gareth Kibble is the Choirs first class Accompanist. The Choir is a registered Charity, and continues to support local charities and community groups throughout the South Wales Area, we are also available to perform at Weddings and Functions if it does not clash with our normal concert appearances.
