Treorchy Male Choir

One of its first male choirs was formed in the Red Cow Hotel in the summer of 1883[1] and developed into a National Eisteddfod winner, culminating in a royal command performance for Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle in 1895.

[2] The choir would later disband after the South Wales Valleys suffered during the massive economic downturn of the Great Depression in the United Kingdom and two World Wars.

Since the early 1980s the choir has undertaken a number of overseas tours beginning with two visits to Canada and a performance in Strasbourg Cathedral for its congregation of almost 6,000 people.

The choir has made two further visits to Australia appearing in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne and also making a return to the Opera House in Sydney.

In Britain, the choir has appeared on the Royal Variety Performance[7] and has become a regular entertainer on the turf of the Millennium Stadium for various rugby union international games.
