Total Visitors

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.

At the top of this page, we feature two local coats-of–arms which 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 always shows 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

Our Thanks

We are able to fund most of our activities from our own resources, but we have been supported by local organisations who have gifted us funds. We wish to acknowledge the generous support given by organisations such as the Coalfield Re-Generation Fund; the National Lottery; Rainford Trust; Merseyside Community Foundation; Harry & Mavis Pilkington Trust as well as St Helens Council.
