Ivan Millican - Experience is Rewarding and Upplifting
'I’ve always enjoyed singing, and the prospect of singing with like-minded people appealed to me, so I joined ADMVC a couple of years ago and never looked back.
I don’t read music and haven’t had any training but I don’t feel hindered in any way.
The Choir consists of a group a men of varying ages and abilities from diverse backgrounds, with a passion for singing.
We sing a wide range of music and the friendly and supportive environment within the Choir enables each person to fulfil his potential regardless of his ability.
Learning some of the songs can be challenging, but when it comes together it’s worth all the hard work and if you like singing you will find the experience rewarding and uplifting.'
Andrew Mowat
Had this to say: ‘When I moved from Lincolnshire, where I’d worked for over thirty years in the NHS, I left behind a strong and important link with singing in Louth Male Voice Choir. It seemed a long wait during lockdown, but I was able to look at several choirs locally before deciding to join Ashington. The thing that made the decision for me was the sense of fun I felt during rehearsals: some of the music was very familiar to me, and some was completely new, and I enjoy the challenge of learning new music. I’ve been made very welcome, and I’m enjoying the task of finding my voice in a new section of tenors.'
