We are kept busy throughout the year so rehearse every Monday and Wednesday between 7.30pm and 9pm in the Llantrisant Workingman’s Club when we practice our current repertoire and learn new songs.

Choristers are expected to attend rehearsals on a regular basis and to spend a little time between rehearsals by going over their song part using music video clips and song sheets provided to ensure performance readiness.

We enjoy around 25-30 annual engagements, usually in the evening with weddings on a Friday or Saturday. Whilst most concerts are in the local area, some can be a little further afield.  Most concerts are followed by an ‘afterglow’ in the pub for refreshments and an informal sing-song where local folk love to join in.

We break for a well -earned rest throughout August (4 weeks) and a further 2 weeks at Christmas.

Wondering what’s involved? Come along to a no strings practice evening and make yourself known on arrival.  Sit back and enjoy some wonderfully uplifting singing, much good humour and plenty of great company – you’ll be made to feel most welcome!  Meet the team and ask as many questions as you need to find out what a ‘day in the life’ of a chorister really means. You’ll probably hear words such as … rewarding, challenging, enjoyable, good fun and more often than not “I wish I’d joined years ago”.  

To put your mind at rest, there’s no requirement to stand in front of the choir to sing solo or to formally audition as it’s all very relaxed. In fact, even after joining you’ll never have to sing solo unless you want to! Our Musical Director will simply take you aside to hear a quick snippet of your voice to establish in which section of the choir your voice would be best suited. It’s as simple as that!

You’ll then have a better idea of what to expect should you decide to join us. We guarantee that once you’ve taken that step – you’ll never regret it! But remember …there’s no pressure and no commitment to join on the night.

At present there is a minimum attendance requirement of 16 rehearsal visits to fulfil the probationary period. This facilitates a period of learning and settling in. Following which full membership is offered and a monthly subscription becomes payable.

Upon becoming a full member of the choir a monthly subscription is payable at a rate which is fair and represents excellent value for money.

No, but we do encourage Welsh speakers to join us to bolster the numbers of native Welsh speakers within the choir. That said, most songs in Welsh are learned by repetition and help is given with a combination of phonetic aids and recordings of the spoken word and from Welsh speaking members.

No … there’s no need to worry as many of our choristers don’t read music but if you do – then that’s great!  Regular attendance at rehearsals is the most important aspect and use of practice techniques will easily make up for not being able to read music. You’ll be surprised what you pick up along the way!

No you don’t need the perfect voice as again with practice, most of us can join in with fellow choristers to make a very pleasing sound indeed. As most learning is done in groups there is no individual exposure although you can sing a solo (but only if you want to) or just be part of the amazing sound. Many of our performances are for local community & charities and events with weddings having become a speciality of the choir.

Joining us each week will help you de-stress, grow in confidence and no matter how new you are to singing, your voice will improve. Most of all, you’ll have fun!

We welcome new members of all ages over the minimum age of 18 years.  We are a strong community of like minded people from all walks of life and of all ages with a common interest – singing!

Punctuality; commitment; attentiveness; consideration for others; willingness to learn; listening skills and a good sense of humour – most important!

The choir is a social group and we aim to have fun whilst working hard to be the best we can.  Often a challenge yet offering great satisfaction, a sense of pride and well-being when you’re singing alongside your fellow choristers as part of one big family.  Its a wonderful feeling!

Professionalism, dedication and a commitment to embrace and uphold the choirs’ traditions and values.

We prefer that you attend rehearsals twice weekly as anything less frequent does mean that it will take longer for you to get to a performance ready standard of singing, particularly in the early days of membership when we can learn together and from each other at the same pace and maintain performance quality.   

However, we value our members immensely, their commitment and contribution to the ongoing success of the choir and therefore appreciate that twice weekly attendance is a big ask for some members with valid family and work obligations.

A willingness to learn a varied programme of songs with a mix of traditional and contemporary styles to keep our repertoire fresh and exciting. A commitment to regularly participate in concert performances, events and weddings as set out in the choirs Event Calendar.

A warm welcome and ongoing support, friendship and camaraderie, fun and laughter. All the help you will need to quickly fit in, with a mentor to help you in learning new songs. The promise that someone will always be there to help you and to answer questions.

Provision of a New Member Information pack with access to a huge back catalogue of music to help learn existing songs. Our professional Music Team provide music tracks in various format to help you continue the learning process at home.
