Whitehaven Male Voice Choir

Choir Recording

25 Years of Song

In November 2002 the Choir recorded their first Compact Disc, entitled '25 Years of Song' this was to celebrate their silver jubilee year. The recording took place in a local church and was recorded and produced by Neil Collier of Priory Records, one of the leading choral music recording companies in the country.
Unfortunately this CD is now sold out. The choir are planning to record another CD in Autumn 2012. Keep checking this website for further information.
