Our recruitment is actively aimed at younger men, with intention of developing their singing skills, but we also welcome more mature male singers too!.
We have great fun singing for all sorts of organisations, and have raised sums for local charities in the process. We have a long heritage and proud of our Club. We rehearse every Monday evening, 7.30pm at the Birstall Social Club, Wanlip Lane, Birstall, Leics.
