We feature two local coats-of–arms alongside our Choir Title Banner. Both are important to our history and to our present life. On the left is the insignia of the former, “Haydock” Council and on the right, that of the current St Helens Council which is very supportive of our activities and has provided generous funding for the purchase of music over the years.

Our web-site will always show up to date information about Haydock MVC’s activities and people. Please contact us if you would like to know more. Some of the images allow for a fly-out enlargement by hovering the mouse over the image. Simply move away to return to text. Our Webmaster is always interested in your comments.

WELCOME

Haydock Male Voice Choir (HMVC) is a group of 70 men who enjoy the challenge and personal satisfaction of singing together in harmony. This gives a tremendous feeling of achievement and well-being. It is also a wonderful discipline for training the memory! We are fortunate to be led by a very experienced conductor, Alan Herbert and to feature two superb young professional pianists - Ruth Webb and Jenny Durbin - as our piano accompanists.

We rehearse twice a week and perform about two concerts a month in a variety of venues usually within a 25 mile radius of our base. Our concert programmes are selected from between 50 & 60 pieces (of several hundred) which have been learned by the choir and are sung from memory. This programme changes completely over a 12 month period, as we will have learned between 12 and 15 new pieces in that time. We bring our own soloists to concerts and we are usually treated to solo performances by Ruth or Jenny.
