The Village Quire

West Gallery music forms the basis of our musical repertoire, but with a strong association with pub singing and Morris dancing, we also perform songs in the folk idiom.  For the sake of some variety, appropriate village polyphony from other parts of the world is included where it suits our style of singing.

Ranging from robust and earthy songs, to beautifully gentle harmonies, we get to every emotion and you won't be disappointed with this particular Village Quire!

"The Village Quire were the talk of the Church on Sunday, and EVERYONE attending the concert had a wonderful time and enjoyed themselves immensely."

Gareth West, St Michaels' Church, Tongwynlais
