MMVC Enjoy Great Week as Spring Concert Fast Approaches!
The secret of success for any sports or social club, social gathering, family outing or suchlike has to be the chemistry between members; how do members get on with each other and enjoy each other’s company. Well, after the two gatherings over the last week, it is certain that the Mayo Male Voice Choir has such chemistry. Unsurprisingly, the members like to sing and don’t need much encouragement to begin a sing-song! The simple joy of singing together ensures that a good night out for the choir is exactly that – a good night out, or in the case of Louisburgh – a very good night out. This will be explained later!
Mayo Male Voice Choir Settles on a Venue!
Due to the very sad demise of the Welcome Inn Hotel, the Mayo Male Voice Choir committee members were left scratching their heads (and many don’t have much on top to scratch!) as to where to find a venue at short notice for their Annual Spring Concert. The date had been selected and the ever popular Sean Costello, tenor, and the equally popular Frank Forde, compere, were invited to keep the night free on their diaries. After much deliberation and suggestions the choir have finally settled on a date change in order to avail of the excellent facilities of Breaffy House Hotel, the MMVC annual concert is now to be held on Thursday, April 28th at 8 pm.

What a busy time our choir have had during the Christmas run-in. From the bustle of Tesco and Boots to the calm of Abbeybreaffy and Cuan Chaitriona and finally to the sheer joy of Knock Airport on Tuesday December 23rd. It is impossible to describe the depth of joy evident in Knock at the arrival home of loved ones from all over the world. It was really wonderful to be a part of it both last year and this year. Family bonds are thankfully still very strong in Ireland. Below are some of the pictures from all venues ending with screen captures from Knock. We hope you enjoy them.

October was a busy month for Mayo Male Voice Choir with two major engagements less than a fortnight apart from each other.
The second major engagement for MMVC was a trip to Derry to participate in the Derry Choral Festival. Truth be known, the choir like nothing better than a weekend away!
