Here are a few testimonials of how the choir has enhanced the lives of choir members, and the joy that a good old Monday night sing has brought them:
Come and Sing with Minehead Male Voice Choir

Have you ever seen an unhappy singer? No, because you cannot be unhappy or miserable when you sing! So why not join us for a rehearsal once a week and regular concerts around West Somerset and elsewhere.

The rehearsals are serious but relaxed with great direction and advice from Jackie our Musical Director with quips from singers.

I've been with the Choir for 23 years and plan to go on for more.

I was hooked the moment I first walked through the doors. I got goosebumps that first night. I had sung in many choirs back in Canada, but never an all-male choir, I knew instantly I had found my “happy place” for singing. I was enthusiastically welcomed into the choir. I look forward to Monday nights not only for the singing but the fun banter and camaraderie I simply can’t stress enough how joining the choir has enhanced my life. Bill S
As a newcomer to Minehead, I would highly recommend any man who can hold a tune to come and join our Male Voice Choir. Monday nights are great fun and I can guarantee a warm welcome, great camaraderie along with the opportunity to learn to sing in harmony coached by a very dedicated musical director.I have developed a love for singing and can honestly say that joining this choir is one of the best things I have ever done!Paul F
“I can’t sing, don’t read music, never been in a choir in my life!”

These are all the things we say when asked if we would like to join a choir. I know I did but two friends of mine who had recently started a Male Voice Choir finally persuaded me to give it a try. “Just come to a practice, sit at the back or join in, which I did.

That was one of the best decisions I have made in my life, to be part of a group of guys, who not only love singing but to be part of a fellowship of people whose aim is to bring a little joy and happiness with music and song.

If you like singing, then join our choir and you will never regret it. I know! After 23 years singing, I’m still going strong!

I joined the choir in September 2021 shortly after moving to Minehead. I had sung previously in a mixed choir so knew all the positive benefits singing provides. First impression was “This is serious” but was immediately invited to join the next trip to Cornwall. (I’ve been twice now!)
First impression was quickly dispelled and very soon enjoyed the camaraderie and just taking part. It’s very much like a sports team with the mutual support (and banter!) and a significant number go to the pub after practice. Tonsils need lubrication!
We are very well led – Jackie always gets the best out of everyone. So, give it a go. I’m glad that I did.David B
I have been with the choir around 20 years and enjoyed every minute of it. There is no audition and I opted to sing as a Baritone. I was assigned a Baritone member to help me through in the early days which took the pressure off. The choir has grown steadily and we have a wonderful choir leader who has steadily raised the quality of the choir.
THE CHOIR - what a great bunch of lads with plenty of amusement and laughs amid some wonderful singing. We sing a wide range of songs ranging from popular to spiritual. We will offer you a warm welcome and you will wonder why you did not join sooner.
Welcome aboard

I joined the choir in 2018 quite late in life at 71 years old. I wish I had joined before. It's very therapeutic; good for the soul, I think. I certainly feel it improves my wellbeing.
I came to an Open Evening in July. I remember I became quite emotional when I sang one of the hymns. I don't know why; I think it was the special sound and feeling you get from a Male Voice Choir, especially singing in harmony.
Now I look forward to Monday evening practice sessions and concerts. I get a great feeling of pride when we sing in concerts. It's very uplifting to feel that the sound the choir makes is appreciated by the public after all our weekly practice sessions. We sing a great variety of songs from traditional to popular musicals.
So come and join us - you will be made very welcome.

I was a late starter – I’ve always loved singing along to pop songs but never got the chance to be involved in a choir. When I was about 50, I decided to look for a male voice choir and eventually found the City of Coventry MVC. I later joined the Leamington Spa Royal Navy MVC. I enjoyed the challenge of learning the words and music to our repertoire.In 2014, we moved to Minehead and found the Minehead Male Voice Choir.
Joining the choir has been one of the best “life” moves – being part of a group of guys, the health benefits of singing and receiving instruction/guidance from Jackie, our Director of Music. Don’t know what could be better.

Being a member (since 2018) of the Minehead Male Voice Choir has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only has it given me the chance to improve my singing through top-quality tuition from our musical director, Jackie, but it has also provided a wonderful platform to build lasting friendships. The camaraderie within the group of 50 members is truly special, and performing our diverse repertoire at public concerts brings a sense of pride and accomplishment.
In addition to the musical aspect, the choir has been a fantastic boost for my mental well-being. The rehearsals are a great way to unwind, and the sense of community is uplifting. Our social trips to international male voice choir festivals and tours to other parts of the UK outside of our base in Somerset, have added a whole new layer of fun and bonding.
It’s not just about the music—it’s about being part of a supportive, vibrant group that enriches both the mind and the soul. Please do consider joining us soon!

I came to a choir rehearsal one night in 2016 and I haven’t looked back since. As a newcomer to Minehead it was a great way to meet new people and help me find my singing voice. It’s been a lot of fun - I got quite heavily involved, but you don’t have to give it any more than one evening a week. And singing is definitely a good way to lift your mood!

I came to the choir having not sung since my early teens. I gave it a go, convinced that I would be frog marched off the premises for making wholly offensive noises. But here I am nearly 5 years later. I may not be a great singer but I am part of a great singing team. I enjoy it a lot. And it’s good for my cardio and cognitive functions too.

If anyone was thinking about getting out and about with some great comrades then this is definitely the thing to do.
