From this group of men with a love of singing, in keeping with the Welsh tradition, it was not long before a committee was formed, and thus the foundation for the Tonna Male Voice Choir was laid. An initial membership of 16 in 1968 increased rapidly and within a year the choir was some 60 strong, this necessitated a change of rehearsal room from the Railway Tavern to the Tonna Junior School. Membership continued to increase and by 1971 the choir numbers had grown to over 80, this strength of numbers continued for several years but then in common with most other choirs in the area, the declining industrial base in the area took its toll and numbers started to decline, there has been a revival of interest over recent years and the current-membership of the choir stands at 32.
