The choir has toured widely, including in the United States and Europe, and has even performed in front of Queen Elizabeth II. With a diverse repertoire, the choir is known for its ability to engage audiences with its eclectic musical choices.
Speaking ahead of the concert, Ron Webster, Chairman of Chester Male Voice Choir, expressed his excitement for the collaboration. “We are especially pleased to welcome as our special guests The Royal Buckley Town Band and their Musical Director Keith Gorton Jones. In collaboration with our guests, the evening will be full of fun and excellent music,” he said, encouraging newcomers to experience the live power of a male voice choir.
