Choral singing in Kenfig Hill can be traced as far back as 1890 when the Kenfig Hill Male Voice Party won competitions from as far as the lovely Vale of Glamorgan to the distant coastal town of Swansea. Since those days, many choirs under the Kenfig Hill banner have come and gone. Prior to the formation of the present choir in December 1971, its predecessor was forced to disband through lack of public support in 1949. For more than 20 years the male choral vacuum remained unfilled until a small band of hopefuls from the village met at the local rugby club and formed the present choir. It started life with just 18 members and have since grown to over 70. It travels extensively across England and Wales, across the seas to Southern Ireland, France, Germany, Canada and Norway, singing for good causes and charities at many prestigious venues. In May 2002, the choir received and accepted an invitation to give a series of concerts in May 2004 at Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, the Tri Cities of Poland, our first excursion into Eastern Europe. Another First for the choir was singing to the spectators before kick off of the South Africa vs Wales Rugby International at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday 6th November 2004. Plans are now well advanced for the choir to visit Tallinn, Estonia in May 2007.
