It
gives us great pleasure to welcome you to
The Porthcawl Male Choir Website.
Formed
in January 1980 with seventeen members,
the choir has steadily grown to its current
strength of forty-five members.
It has been fortunate to be able to draw
on the local talent of male voices to achieve
the success it has. The choirs objectives
include maintaining the tradition of Welsh
Choral Singing through practice, concert,
competition, helping charitable causes and
the promotion of Wales and Porthcawl.

We
are indebted to the founder
musical director the late Alan
Pillinger, along with his wife
Beryl who was the first accompanist
for their vision in forming
the choir and their dedication
and patience in those early
days. Others who followed maintained
the momentum to achieve our
aims and objectives.
At present our thanks go to Liz our
accompanist and Beryl our assistant
accompanist for their contribution,
a task they always perform cheerfully.
Last but not least, our thanks to
Mair our musical director for not
only organising the music but also
for her patience in rehearsals and
on many occasions singing solo and
duets with her husband John in concerts
to support the choir.
Practices are held twice a week on
Tuesdays and Fridays at the Arlington
Road Presbyterian Church at 7.30 –
9.30pm. Members of the public are
always welcome to come and listen.
Prospective new members are always
given support and help to acquaint
themselves with the music and fellowship
within the choir.
