Well that was interesting.after the comments at practice last night I was very interested to hear what the first bass line of Amen would sound like. I must say what I heard and seen was fantastic. Really well done to the person who put that on. It will be very helpful to new members. Thankfully it is not too different from what we are singing at the moment.
A message from home during the Covid-19 restrictions.
This isn't stopping DMVC singing - One of our members arranged a 'ZOOM' session which was great fun to lift the spirits and keep in touch. ???
Stay safe and we hope to see you soon.

I was born n 1941. I grew up in Donaghadee. My father Henry L Taggart was a member of the choir. I remember him practising.
Henry was also a stalwart of the Rugby Club. I was at school at Regent House and Queen's. I played a wheen of Rugby in different places. I then spent 16 years as a Royal Engineer officer and an oil industry engineer. Both jobs took me all around the World.
I now live near Malvern and am a member of Malvern Male Voice Choir. We celebrate our Centenary in 2021. So, we're aiming to raise our game. I'm i/c publicity and have been admiring your communications media. This is my biggest challenge!
All the best to The Choir

Great to hear from you Gerry and we wish you every success with your efforts in Malvern Male Voice Choir to enjoy centenary celebrations.
We have witnessed many changes with our choir over the years and still strive to enjoy singing and the comradery that brings no matter where we are.
Keep singing.

Your choir visited my church Trinity on the Hill in Augusta, Georgia in the early 90's when I was in middle school. I bought your tape and wore it out... your music was so beautiful. I will never forget that experience and I thank God I had the opportunity to hear you all. I would like to know where I can find some of your songs to play for my children. Again, thank you for coming and singing for our church. I will remember it always.

Many thanks for your kind words and I can say our choir always enjoyed their trips to the USA. You might try this YouTube link for a taste of some recordings - https://www.youtube.com/user/donaghadeemvc
Kind regards.

My father, Finlay Johnston, was a member of the choir in the late 1980'sand early 1990's. I remember well his tales of your tours to Georgia and I recall coming to support you at the Cheltenham Music Festival, when you won the cup for best choir . It is lovely to see him in your photo archive and to remember the wonderful time he has as part of the choir.

I was surfing the web listening to choirs - men’s choirs, kids choirs and such - and I remembered you and the fabulous concert we of the Greeley Chorale shared with you in late May 2013. I hope that many of the same men are still singing with your group - I see one familiar bass 2 face. The dinner and concert made it a fabulous time! Thanks again for your kind hospitality and excellent musicianship. Best wishes always!

Great to hear from you and we remember that concert well. A great time was had by all. We do unfortunately have a few changes but still, together and singing away. I hope you are all well and singing at every opportunity.
Best wishes from Northern Ireland - Keep singing and travelling.
