Welcome
Est. 1948
Saturday October 4th. was Hexham Arts Fair day in the Queens Hall, Hexham. The choir participated in this event and performed a variety of songs to exhibit our diverse repertoire. The event was well attended and showcased not only our choir, but other elements of the vibrant Arts scene in our home town.
Our joint concert with 'Jubilate' is now scheduled for Saturday November 1st. at 2.00pm in St. Mary's R.C. church. This will be a lovely event and the choir will be forced out of our comfort zone with a couple of the joint pieces! This is a charity concert in aid of The Alzheimer's Society and admission is free. Please enjoy the music and make an appropriate donation. If you are unable to attend the concert or wish to contribute directly to the Alzheimer's Society you can do so by clicking on this 'Just Giving' link:
Due to the proliferation of events and other commitments leading up to Christmas the choir has decided not to perform a 'traditional' Christmas concert. Instead we are having two! The first will be held on Friday December 5th. at 7.00pm in the Hexham Community Centre and will be in place of our regular rehearsal. Please note the change of date and venue for this event! This will be a 'Caberet Style' get together with some favourite pieces and a mix of solos, duets and hopefully some special guests. Details are still to be finalised so again, more info to follow.
For our 2nd. Christmas event we will be performing a guest slot for 30 minutes at the St. Nicholas hospital (Gosforth) Christmas event on Thursday 18th. December at 7.00pm. Details of this and ticket prices and purchases will be available from St. Nicholas Hospital.
We are in the process of preparing our concert programme for 2026. Below is our projected timetable. Venues and concert details are yet to be finalised.
Saturday 24th. January - "Welcome to 2026"
Saturday 30th. May - "Spring into Summer"
Friday 23rd. October - "Autumn Memories"

About Hexham Male Voice Choir
Who Are We?
The Choir was formed in May 1948 with the ethos to foster and encourage male voice singing. Seventy years later that core mission has not changed and we actively encourage men of all ages from all walks of life to come and sing with us.
The organisation is non-profit making and exists with the aid of members subscriptions and voluntary donations. We support a wide range of charitable causes throughout the North East, and are happy to help organisations to put on fund-raising concerts (we normally ask for a small fee to help choir funding).
New members are always welcome. Why not join us and discover the enjoyment of singing within our friendly group. We rehearse every Thursday night throughout the year (with the month of August off) from 7.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. at West End Methodist Chapel, Shaftoe Leazes , Hexham, NE46 3DF
Registered Charity No: 1202632
Our Musical Director
Ray Taylor
Ray joined us in March 2022 as a Tenor, bringing a wide range of experience singing in different groups, including Hexham Amateur Stage Society and the Northumbria Chamber Choir. And before returning to his home town of Newcastle, he started his own choir in Derbyshire called Chameleon, singing a variety of musical styles.
As an accomplished pianist, Ray has sometimes played for our rehearsals and stood in to lead the choir when needed.
Ray became our Musical Director in March 2024, and has ambitions to develop the musical skills of the members and expand our repertoire.
