The Blaenavon Male Voice Choir is currently celebrating its one hundredth anniversary with an exhibition of historic newspapers, programmes and photographs reflecting on the successes and challenges faced by the popular institution over the past century. The exhibition, which is being displayed at the Blaenavon World Heritage Centre, was launched at a well-attended private function held at the centre on 6 March; it is now open to the public until 1 May.

Blaenavon’s choir was founded in 1910 and has enjoyed national and international success, travelling the globe and representing their town and country as far a field as Norway, Hungary, France, South Carolina, California, Canada and Spain. The choir has recently featured on the BBC series Coal House, Coal House at War and Saving Britain’s Past. Today, the BMVC still boasts a strong membership and is looking forward to keeping Blaenavon’s musical tradition alive for another century!
