Shwmae i chi,

Croeso i safle wê Côr Meibion Cymreig Awstralia; welcome to the website of the Australian Welsh Male Choir - (auswelshmalechoir).

What a wonderful time we had in Shepparton on the weekend. We performed to a very appreciative full house. We were joined in the concert by a group of young Congolese rufugee migrants who delighted the audience and the choir with their enthusiastic singing and dancing. Two of their members, Monga (on the shaker tin) and Patrick (on the drum), joined with us in African Trilogy and Men of Harlech. With no oportunity to rehearse, they provided an eccellent acompaniament to both pieces. The enthusiasm of these young people in both singing their own songs and listen to ours was a joy to see.

Congratulations to David Madill who was successful in his audition to become a full member of the choir. David performed in his first concert with us at the George Vowel Aged Care Centre.

We were pleased to receive an update in the form of a report back from Peter Nicholls who recently visited Buna, Papua New Guinea. The choir recently took part in a fundraising concert in support of a village school there. You may read his report here.

Our last 'Bring a Friend' open evening on Monday 1st July, was again a success and we will have more in 2008. We hope to see our 'friends' back with us at rehearsals.


Our choir has over three decades of musical heritage, and during that time has had the good fortune to have sung at the Royal Albert Hall in London on a number of occasions, the Sydney Opera House, as well as performing on television and at many locations around the Victoria, interstate and in the UK.

We are a group of men with ages spanning over 60 years, our youngest chorister is 20 years old and at the other end of the spectrum one of our members is 84 years young.

We love our music with a passion that is difficult to convey in words, but when we sing, we create beautiful harmonies and the rapture on the audience’s faces when we sing sends shivers down my spine. To think that we are capable of producing such a sweet sound is awesome, and to see the appreciation of our audience is truly rewarding.

We sing songs in many languages, at the last count we perform works in six different languages, but mainly we sing in English and what we call the “language of the angels” Welsh.

Our repertoire covers works from hymns, folk songs, Negro spirituals and opera, as well as music from stage shows, take time to listen to our choice of songs on this site so you can appreciate what we are like.

We would like men of all ages who can string together a few notes to join us, we will train you to improve your singing. We have three brilliant musicians who train us at rehearsals and we would welcome you to join us so you too can experience the thrill of entertaining an appreciative audience.

We are a “not for profit organisation” and do many concerts for charity and other deserving groups.

May I also invite you to sign and view our Guest Book; we appreciate all comments about our site and/or our performances.  A link to the Guest Book is situated on the Exit Page.  Maybe you will have time to write a short review of our site as all comments are taken on board, after all, you are our audience.
