Oll an Gwella are a bunch of beauties! All members of Newquay Male Voice Choir, their choristers’ current repertoire consists of over 100 songs including Shanties, Cornish folk, 1960s classics, seasonal & sacred music.
Their 4-part harmony and infectious humour has brought them popularity as their repertoire and reputation have grown. Entertaining for pleasure, they raise thousands of pounds for voluntary, charity & community groups. £1200 profit from donations and their first CD was donated to “The Cove” Cancer Centre and further donations have been made to RNLI and Cornwall Blood Bikes (who have received more than £3400 as their current charity). Live broadcasts on local radio and a recording by ‘Spotlight’ for BBC Television followed. Singing from the main stages at Shows and Festivals across Cornwall they have also exported their distinctive harmonies across Southern England and South Wales. Invites to France saw performances in St Malo, Dinard and the prestigious “Festival Interceltique de Lorient”, where they enjoyed 16 performances at one of the largest music festivals in Europe. Equally at home singing on elaborate festival sound stages or on the deck of the “Cutty Sark” and at Salisbury Cathedral, they also take their choral entertainment to weddings, “Memory Cafes”, nursing-homes and schools where choral workshops encourage children’s singing.
