THE Caldicot Male Voice Choir is performing a concert at the town’s methodist church tomorrow, which is 50 years on from when their first major concert was held at the venue.
The choir was formed in 1963 by men drawn to work in the newly built Llanwern steelworks, and has grown from 20 members to 86 members.
Stephen Berry, accompanist, and Ron Palmer, chorister, have found records of the choir’s first major concert taking place at the church on Jubilee Way in 1964.
To commemorate the anniversary, the choir will be holding a concert in support of Prospects UK charity, which supports people with learning difficulties to enable them to thrive and grow independently in the community.
The concert will start at 7.30pm and tickets are available at the door, priced £6.
