The Men’s Shed Chorale was formed in 2011 by a couple of men who had been singing together for many years. They decided that they wanted to form a choir to sing in a relaxed way, aiming to produce the highest quality music that they could, while encouraging a highly social atmosphere. At first a few singers sang around a piano at one of their homes, followed by lunch. The group has now developed into a choir singing a varied repertoire, which performs numerous concerts every year. The Chorale is in great demand for entertainment in retirement homes and as a fund raiser for churches and clubs.
