Welcome to Louth Male Voice Choir
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. To receive occasional newsletters about the choir, register your email address here.

Young Musician Competition 2009
Our Young Musician competition takes place at the Methodist Church, Nichol Hill, Louth on Saturday 14 November.
Entry forms (to be completed and returned by 20 October) and further information are available from Malcolm Kerridge, 52 Wesgate, Louth, LN11 9YD. Tel: 01507 607371. mpkerridge@hotmail.com.
The premilinary rounds will take place in the morning and afternoon sessions, where every performer will receive a valuable and constructive adjudication. The first three from each of the sections – under 11, under 14, and under 18 years of age – will compete in a finals and concert performance at 7.00 pm.
Visitors are welcome at all of the sessions and the evening concert is strongly recommended to anyone with an interest in good music. In previous years the standard of performance of the senior contestants has been outstanding – you may have had the intense pleasure of seeing and hearing last year’s winner, violinist Alice Spiers playing in our summer concert - and we expect it will be the same this time.
