The London Marathon...
He’s done it!
The choir’s MD, Steve Allen successfully completed the 2008 London Marathon.
In doing so, Steve has raised approximately £1600 for charity.
Our congratulations go to him on his sterling effort, grit and determination to complete this torturous feat of endurance.

And at the same concert, the guest soloist was the baritone, David Hadley with his accompanist, Sue Diamond. Click here for some concert photos...
Joining The Choir
Can you sing? Or read music? Quite a few choir members couldn’t when they first joined the choir. It isn’t a prerequisite to be able to read music (but it helps!).
Would you like to take part in concerts at venues such as Symphony Hall or Gloucester Cathedral?

About the Choir
The Warley Male Choir was formed in 1943 by a group of air raid wardens and has grown to become known and respected throughout the Midlands. Warley is in the West Midlands, situated between Dudley and Birmingham, in the borough of Sandwell.
Musical Director - Steve Allen
Most of our concerts are given in aid of charity and the choir has raised many thousands of pounds over the years. The majority of our concerts are given in the Midlands, but the choir has also performed in Germany, France, Belgium, and Holland, as well as many times in Wales, including visits to the International Eisteddfod at Llangollen. The choir has also toured Devon and Cornwall on three occasions, raising money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
