Welcome to Louth Male Voice Choir
The choir is based in the market town of Louth in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Every summer it sings a concert in the town’s magnificent parish church of St James. Another ten or so concerts and a choral festival competition constitute a typical year’s programme. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings starting at 7.30pm at the Mansion House in Upgate. Prospective new members are always welcome to attend rehearsals. The choir also welcomes invitations to sing at new locations that can accommodate 40 voices or more.

Joint Concert with the Pelham Singers raises £2,300 for Downs Syndrome Association
We were delighted to be the guests of the Pelham Singers at the concert they staged on 28 March 2008 at St James’s Church in Grimsby. There was a good audience and an enthusiastic and generous response to the fund raising appeal. Elaine Dix, musical director of the Pelham Singers, brought the concert to a rousing finish when she conducted the joint choirs in “Back to the ’60s”, a miscellany of popular songs arranged by Alan Simmons which starts with “There was a man in New Orleans…” and climaxes with “Do do ron ron”.
