About the Choir

Founded in 1904 the choir has been in continuous existence and now ranks as one of the oldest in Wales. Originally the 'Upper Cwmbrân United Male Voice Party' the choir's name changed to 'Pontnewydd United Male Voice Party' and, in 1972, became the Pontnewydd Male Choir.

Pontnewydd is an area of Cwmbrân, close to Newport, and is located in the County Borough of Torfaen in South-East Wales. This beautiful county gives easy access to South, Mid and West Wales as well as to South-West England via the Severn Bridge(s).

The choir has always inspired tremendous loyalties as evidenced by the relatively few Presidents and Conductors there have been since 1904. The choir's current membership of 66 includes fourteen Life Members each of whom have in excess of 25 years membership of the choir.
