I agree. It's pathetic. Long live male voice choirs!

Yet again a complete common sense bypass.
It would be funny if it were not all around us and so sad.
Do barbershop quartets have to be qualified hairdressers?

Male voice choirs are a simply wonderful tradition and the PC (excuse the pun) brigade should be told to sling their hook! Where does it all stop? It was the beginning of the end for me when they started bringing girls into cathedral choirs to sing alongside the boys. I know there are reasons for this, as it is now difficult to recruit boy choristers to all but the prestigious choirs, and their voices are breaking earlier.

Good grief, this surely must have happened because some batty women complained ?

Hands off male voice choirs

Ridiculous and very sad.

Once again stupidity rules BlueBelle It does seem there are different rules applied to suit the occasion,
There is an outcry when women are treated as sex objects in the course of their job but its a joke when males are groped.
I love the sound of a male voice choir as well.

In the name of being equal a Police Male voice choir in Derbyshire have been told to change their name to include women This choir has been singing for charity for years and years Why on earth should they change I m all fo equality but this is ridiculous
Male voice choirs sound lovely and are quite different to mixed choirs Howabout the servicemen wives choir how come that’s ok
