The Cotswold Male Voice Choir

The “Cotswolds” are one of the best known and popular male choirs in the South-West of England. They perform all over Gloucestershire (and further afield) in every type of venue to fulfil their aim of “promoting music through public performance”. The choir are now in their 76th year and have a deservedly high reputation for entertaining audiences with a wide repertoire of songs that will thrill all ages. There’s nothing quite like the soaring sound of a male choir singing classic hymns like Morte Criste or Calon Lan to stir your soul or the sweet harmonies of a love song like “Let It Be Me” or “Some Enchanted Evening”. There’s a song for everyone in their varied programme. Come and enjoy!
