Adelaide Male Voice Choir
The Adelaide Male
Voice Choir was founded in 1884 after several letters had been
written to the papers deploring the fact that the only male
choir music performed in Adelaide at that time was sung in the
German language. A meeting of interested men was held at
premises in Rundle Street, near where the Regent Arcade now
stands, and it was decided to form a male voice choir to be
known as the Adelaide English Glee Society.

Australian Welsh Male Choir - The
beginnings of the Choir can be traced back to Christmas
1973 when a group of
predominantly Welsh expatriates, who loved singing, gathered
together at the Frankston Pines Soccer Club. They formed a Choir
known as the “Cambrian Singers”. They later became known as the
Frankston Welsh Male Choir. The first performance of this choir
was on the 20th October 1974 at the dedication service for the
Chapel at the Victoria Police Academy, Glen Waverley. On the 24th
June 1980 the name was
changed to The Victoria Welsh Male Choir and new colours were
presented to the Choir by Patron Mr. Sidney Baillieu Myer. In
April 1985, the name
was finally changed to the Australian Welsh Male Choir.
