We will be hosting choirs as part of the Cornwall International Male Voice Choral Festival in 2013 and later will be joining the massed Cornwall Federation of Male Voice Choirs in the Royal Albert Hall.

Under Ian's direction the choir has been sought after all around the county and further afield, singing to full houses. He was appointed in 2005 and has attracted many new younger singers to the popular group and led them back to the competition field where in his 7 years they have been awarded six first prizes at the Cornwall County Music Festival, their best ever record. Ian will be directing the choir at many of their forthcoming concerts and says "I've enjoyed my time and experiences with the choir who are a very loyal and dedicated group of singers.

Having recently been awarded the Federation “President’s Plate” for work in the community (an award given to the Cornish choir which has done most to encourage more youngsters, especially boys, into choral singing) the choir welcomes anyone who enjoys singing. We would be delighted to welcome a third member of the musical team to share, on occasions, the accompanist’s responsibilities at both rehearsals and concerts. For the right candidate(s), this role could include taking or supporting section practices and occasional full rehearsals and concerts. The choir would also be delighted to hear from less experienced candidates who are interested in developing their accompanying or conducting skills. The musical team are supported by an enthusiastic and hard-working committee who are keen to see the choir develop still further in the future. Choir rehearsals normally take place on Wednesday evenings at Claremont Church Hall in Beachfield Avenue, Newquay between 7pm and 9:30pm from September to July. The choir is developing a popular and innovative repertoire which covers a wide range of styles and genres from classical, operatic, religious, folk, popular and modern as well as songs from the shows. Each year, between 12 and 20 public engagements are accepted with, often, invitations for bookings 2 years in advance. As a result, a great deal of money is raised for and with local charities and community groups.

Whilst there is the potential for flexibility to suit the successful applicant, this is seen as a long term appointment with the potential for growth and development.
