“Gentlemen of Maesteg, come and join our fantastic choir, where we all share a passion for music and camaraderie, of friendship and singing. Lend us your voice and blend it with with ours as we sing together. Our choir is filled with friendship and a shared love for welsh choral music and songs from further afield.
We are proud to have a talented music team ready to support you on your musical journey with us. What sets us apart is our welcoming approach - there are no auditions required to join our choir.
We gather at the Maesteg Celtic Club located in Garth every Thursday evening starting at 7.00 for our weekly rehearsals. We are delighted that we have recently gained new members, so come and join them and give us a try - you will not regret it.”
Need A Nudge?
There are numerous reasons why becoming a part of our choir can be a rewarding experience for you, as well as possibly a few of factors that may give you pause for thought. You may want to consider this:
You don’t have to read music.
There are no auditions.
You don’t have to buy any music, we supply it all.
We are in Maesteg Celtic Club and ‘on the flat!’ if you are not so steady on your feet.
When we harmonise, we create something of beauty — especially when we’ve all struggled to get our part right — there is a mixture of awe and satisfaction that can’t be put into words.
If you think that it is too expensive, you are wrong. Being a member of our choir works out at about a pint of beer a week - and it is much better for you too!
However, if you do not like chatting, socialising, friendship or raising money for good causes, please do not join.
If you don’t like social events and being active, please do not join.
If you like being miserable, being lonely or watching EastEnders on the television, PLEASE DO NOT JOIN US. It really isn’t for you.
TAKE A RISK, JOIN US!
CYMRYD RISG, YMUNO Â NI!
Want even more reasons to join us? We offer a blend of benefits that resonate beyond the joy of singing together.
Singing with us will improve your musical perception. It will draw out your innate musical ability and intensify your appreciation of harmony.
Regular group singing strengthens your ear, allowing you to understand how harmonies combine and complement each other.
Choral singing has profound emotional benefits. Research shows that it enhances brain function, fosters feelings of togetherness, and releases endorphins and oxytocin.
Many people are told they can’t sing, which can discourage potential singers for years. THIS IS JUST NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!
We provide a safe space to perform as part of a group. Witness your confidence grow as you perform in front of an audience for the first time.
In our increasingly isolated world, choir membership offers a sense of community.
Forge strong social bonds with like-minded people working toward a common goal.
Singing has connected communities since ancient times, and being part of a choir provides a meaningful sense of belonging.
Singing engages your diaphragm and respiratory muscles, providing a gentle workout.
Choir rehearsals involve standing, breathing, and vocalizing, contributing to overall fitness.
