Morriston Ladies Choir, or MLC as it's affectionately known, was formed in 1941 by  Miss Lillian Abbot and members of the Local First Aid Defence Group. They created a space between the many strong male voice choirs that dominated the area and still do.   

 

MLC are not only known locally, they are also known on the international scene, singing in the Parliament Buildings in Toronto and the National Parliament Buildings in Ottawa during their 1991 Golden Jubilee tour of Canada. The highlight of the tour however was singing in front of a crowd of 2,500 in a town called Peterborough.

​

It's not just in Canada where the choir have left their mark, they have also performed in Germany, Holland, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Tuscany and Poland as well as many concerts in the UK.

​

The choir have also previously performed with numerous other choirs and military bands near and far, taking part in many concerts. These include the opening of the Millennium Centre in Cardiff, the Millennium Stadium BBC concert alongside other choirs with Sir Cliff Richard. Sung with Russell Watson in the Brangwyn Hall and even performed for the Late US president Jimmy Carter in Singleton Park and welcomed the then Prince Charles to Tabernacle Chapel Morriston.

​​

The choir have made their home at the Tabernacle Chapel in the heart of Morriston, rehearsing in the vestry, now newly named 'Daniel Edwards Hall'. The Tabernacle chapel is where we hold our annual concerts as well as many other live performances.

  

As many other organisations found MLC were hit hard with the onset of Covid, not being able to meet or perform and subsequently losing many members. The road back has been challenging, but we are now happy to report that Morriston ladies choir is BACK.

 

We look forward to bringing joy back to our community and are thrilled to be able to perform in front of live audiences.

 

If you feel that you would like to be part of a successful community group, Morriston Ladies Choir would welcome you with open arms.

​

We are available for charity concerts helping organisations to raise funds for the local community and surrounding areas.  

We are also available for Weddings and private functions.

​

We rehearse every Wednesday at 7pm - 9pm in the Daniel Edwards Hall (Tabernacle Vestry).
