The Choir was set-up as a "Singing for Pleasure" group in 1994 by Tony Moore, a community worker at Waltham Abbey Community Centre, Essex. Tony is now retired & is still the Choir's Public Concerts Manager and Public Relations Manager.

The group currently consists of about 28 men who thoroughly enjoy themselves by singing to the public. We rehearse weekly and have an active programme of monthly concerts. Our wives/partners are our greatest critics!

In 1998 we received a grant from the Millennium Lottery Fund towards equipment and uniforms that enabled us to entertain the elderly in day-centres and residential homes in the area.

The repertoire is varied and very easy on the ear! We mainly sing popular songs, songs from the shows, a little bit of church music and popular opera, written between the start of the last century right up to this year! We are affiliated to the National Association of choirs and Making Music.

Musical Director Dave Martin joined the Choir at the beginning of 2004. He has had a great deal of experience as a semi-professional opera singer and also performed, directed, produced as well as M.D'd a number of amateur & semi professional musical shows across North London. At the beginning of his musical career he undertook a conducting course with Sir Adrian Boult. For 25 years he was Director of Music for Edmonton Baptist Church.

Accompanist Jane Kenton has been with the Choir since 1999. She is very talented, playing the church-organ and piano-accordion as well as the piano. Dave Pearson accompanies the Choir as well with his Bass Guitar and that has added a new dimension to our music.
