The Dursley Male Voice Choir was founded by a group of enthusiastic local singers in 1978 and has since grown to be one of the principal male voice choirs of Gloucestershire with up to 40 singers drawn from communities around Dursley and the wider Stroud district.
The Choir performs around 8-10 concerts each year, the majority of them for charity. As well as local concerts the choir performs at many venues, around the UK and internationally.
The choir is under the shared musical direction and accompaniment of Barrie Cooper and Matthew Sharp.
