Welcome
Est. 1948
Just In! The choir are to participate in the switching on of Christmas lights at Hexham General Hospital on Tuesday 25th. November at 4.00 pm. A nice start to the festive season!
Due to the proliferation of events and other commitments leading up to Christmas the choir has decided not to perform a 'traditional' Christmas concert. Instead we are having two! The first will be held on Friday December 5th. at 7.00pm in the Hexham Community Centre and will be in place of our regular rehearsal. Please note the change of date and venue for this event! This will be a relaxed 'Caberet Style' get together with some favourite pieces and a mix of solos, duets and special guests. Seasonal 'nibbles' and light refreshments will be available but please bring along a bottle of your favourite tipple!
For our 2nd. Christmas event we will be performing a guest slot for 30 minutes at the St. Nicholas hospital (Gosforth) Christmas event on Thursday 18th. December at 7.00pm. Details of this and ticket prices and purchases will be available from St. Nicholas Hospital.
Our joint concert with 'Jubilate' took place on Saturday November 1st. in St. Mary's R.C. church. This was a fantastic event and although we were forced out of our comfort zone with a couple of the joint pieces (Zadoc the Priest and Benedictus from The Armed Man), both choirs sang superbly and did justice to all the songs. This was a charity concert with free admission in aid of The Alzheimer's Society and the audience responded magnificently with an overall total donation of £1485.00 on the day. If you were unable to attend the concert but wish to contribute directly to the Alzheimer's Society you can do so by clicking on this 'Just Giving' link:
We are in the process of preparing our concert programme for 2026. Below is our projected timetable. Venues and concert details are yet to be finalised.
Saturday 24th. January - "Welcome to 2026"
Saturday 30th. May - "Spring into Summer"
Friday 23rd. October - "Autumn Memories"
Thursday 10th. December - "Winter Showtime"
Further details, venues and ticket prices will be published nearer the concert occurring but please put the above dates in your diaries!

About Hexham Male Voice Choir
Who Are We?
The Choir was formed in May 1948 with the ethos to foster and encourage male voice singing. Seventy years later that core mission has not changed and we actively encourage men of all ages from all walks of life to come and sing with us.
The organisation is non-profit making and exists with the aid of members subscriptions and voluntary donations. We support a wide range of charitable causes throughout the North East, and are happy to help organisations to put on fund-raising concerts (we normally ask for a small fee to help choir funding).
New members are always welcome. Why not join us and discover the enjoyment of singing within our friendly group. We rehearse every Thursday night throughout the year (with the month of August off) from 7.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. at West End Methodist Chapel, Shaftoe Leazes , Hexham, NE46 3DF
Registered Charity No: 1202632
Our Musical Director
Ray Taylor
Ray joined us in March 2022 as a Tenor, bringing a wide range of experience singing in different groups, including Hexham Amateur Stage Society and the Northumbria Chamber Choir. And before returning to his home town of Newcastle, he started his own choir in Derbyshire called Chameleon, singing a variety of musical styles.
As an accomplished pianist, Ray has sometimes played for our rehearsals and stood in to lead the choir when needed.
Ray became our Musical Director in March 2024, and has ambitions to develop the musical skills of the members and expand our repertoire.
