It’s our 100th Birthday!
The Rossendale Male Voice Choir was formed in March 1924, with ordinary chaps from the mills singing under the guidance of founder conductor Fred Tomlinson from Rawtenstall.
Those ordinary chaps went on to bring many competition victories home to the valley, including an unprecedented four wins at the International Eisteddfod at Llangollen. We sing locally and nationally, at venues from pubs to The Bridgewater.
In our 2024 centenary celebration shows we’ll share an amazing 100 years worth of stories and successes. We’ll be treating you to an audio visual spectacular, with video and audio clips stretching back into our history, taking you on the same journey through time that the choir has experienced. The men of todays choir will perform an exciting soundtrack to accompany this visual feast, with a range of wonderful pieces selected from the choirs historic repertoire.
The show dates are…
Saturday June 15th 7.30pm, St James’s Church Haslingden, with school choirs from St. James Haslingden, St. Mary’s Haslingden, and St. John’s Baxenden.
Saturday June 29th 7.30pm, St Mary’s Church Rawtenstall, with school choirs from St. Peter’s Newchurch, Holy Trinity Stacksteads, St. Veronica’s Helmshore.
