Welcome
We hope that you can find all the information that you require about our Male Voice Choir which has its home in Cornwall’s premier holiday resort boasting “the finest coastline and beaches in Europe”.
We are delighted to confirm that Mr Chris Bennett has been appointed as principal accompanist.
We are still keen to appoint an assistant accompanist or assistant Musical Director- can you help? Please contact David Bendall (Hon Sec) on 01726 860193
If you are interested in joining the choir, we would be delighted to see you at our practice, which is normally held on a Wednesday evening at the Methodist (formerly Claremont) Church hall in Beachfield Avenue, Newquay, 6.45pm for 7.00pm. It really doesn’t matter whether you can read music or not. If you enjoy singing, everything else can be worked on.
Newquay is situated on the north coast of Cornwall and is the premier holiday resort in the county. With its miles of beautiful sandy beaches spread around a large bay and adjoining coastline it attracts significant numbers of visitors over an extended season each summer. Our coastline forms a spectacular part of the Cornwall coastal path for those who like walking. The Atlantic swells create excellent surf conditions which attract those who enjoy the sport of surfing and Newquay’s Fistral beach hosts many national & international contests every year.
The tidal harbour was once a busy working port but now its activities are restricted to use by a limited commercial fishing fleet, pleasure boat and angling trips in the summer and a very active gig rowing club which, throughout the year, takes part in racing Cornwall’s traditional 6-oared clinker-built vessels against crews from around the county and beyond.
The town acts as a centre for the holiday trade in Cornwall and many people use Newquay as a base to visit attractions including “The Eden Project” at St Austell, the “Maritime Museum” in Falmouth and the “Tate of the West” in St Ives. A range of spectacular Cornish gardens (formal and informal) are open throughout the year and other family attractions closer to Newquay include a zoo and a wide number of other wildlife, country and farming interpretive centres.
