Dursley Male Voice Choir at St Mary's Church Saturday 21st April 2012 at 7.30pm.

Dursley Male Voice Choir - an independent critique                                             Laurie Penny

21st April brought with it a return visit to St Mary's of this choir whose previous memorable Almondsbury performance was in aid of the Church's roof appeal.

For those who aren't familiar with the choir, it has some 50 or so regular choristers, including at least one Almondsbury resident. Dursley based, it comes with a strong Welsh influence; amply demonstrated by the style, quality, timing and precision of their music (and this comes from someone who is a Philistine where music is concerned!)

With twelve choral pieces performed, piano solos by Barrie Cooper and Robert Burgess, and entertaining stories delivered in unique style by John Lloyd the many attendees enjoyed a most entertaining evening.

If you missed this concert but enjoy male voice choirs it is well worth seeking out Dursley MVC for an entertaining evening.

Note from Dursley Male Voice Choir:  The concert - by report - was very well received and approximately £500 was raised for The Childrens' Society - so quite a good effort. There is significant interest in our Annual Concerts on 11th & 12th May. We sang four  lots of four songs and there was an encore.
