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'.

5. It

The Choir meets at Stakeford & Bomarsund

Here are the personal views of one of our members!
John Major – How Do You Follow This!
'Someone once said it was good for your health, joining a choir that is!
I have been here for seven years but after only three months got rid of my blue and brown inhalers. Now I’m right as rain and thoroughly enjoying the Choir….
Also, it was an extra boost to me to join a bunch of guys who are a lot madder than me!!
P.S. You may have heard that Elvis is working in a chip shop in Bradford!!...It’s a Lie…He is a lot, lot closer!!
John (The Hip!) Major!!
P.P.S It’s a whole lotta fun on a Thursday …A-Huh-Huh!'
