Choir in 2023

Welcome to Ashington & District Male Voice Choir

Welcome to Ashington & District Male Voice Choir formed in 1916. The Choir celebrated its Centenary in 2016 and is looking forward to reaching our 110 year milestone.

Based in Southeast Northumberland, the Choir attracts members from across the region.

The Choir has a rich history and performs a varied selection of songs. It is appropriate that several numbers are about coal mining as Ashington was once famous as 'the largest coal mining village in the world'.

Festive Fun with Ashington & District Male Voice Choir!

Do you love carols and festive tunes?
Then come join us in song on great afternoons!
The Ashington Choir invites you to sing,
Where joy and the spirit of Christmas takes wing.
Whether you’re a singer, or just love the sweet sound,

A warm embrace will always be found,
At concerts and gatherings, with hearts full of cheer,
We’ll spread Christmas joy to all who draw near.
So come share the magic, the music, the fun—
A holiday memory for everyone!

Want to sing more and let your voice take flight.
Join Ashington Male Choir, it’ll feel just right.
No need for auditions, no pressure or test,
We welcome new members, the shy and the best.

Whether you’re quite seasoned or new to song,
In our friendly choir, you’ll feel you belong.
It’s good for the soul, your body, your mind—
A place full of music, warm and kind.

So come and sing, feel the joy it will bring,
Perhaps to you it will mean - everything!

Thanks to George Stoker from ADMVC for the rhyme.
