The Tonna Male Voice Choir evolved from a weekly singalong at the Railway Tavern in Aberdulais. From this group of men with a love of singing, in keeping with the Welsh tradition, it was not long before a committee was formed, and thus the foundation for the Tonna Male Voice Choir was laid.

The choir made its first public appearance on Thursday 24th April 1969 at St. Catherine’s Parish Hall, Melyn, Neath in a concert for Christian Aid, this tradition of supporting charity has continued to the present time with some 90% of choir concerts being for charitable purposes. The choir are proud of their achievements in having raised something of the order of £280,000 for charity over the past 39 years.

The choir celebrate their 40th year in the business with a special concert at St David’s Church, Neath. Musical guests include soprano Rebecca Evans and Tonna Primary School Choir.
