Odds & Ends – Brownhills Choir LP

Odds & Ends 

Brownhills Choir LP

This LP came from one of the bric-a-brac outlets, not really our museum object but of interest to Brownhills people, of which I am one!

I think the picture is from 1906

Brownhills Co-operative Choral Society

(1977)

The musical tradition of Brownhills goes back many years and the present Choir, under its conductor Mr. Deryck Langford, unites a wide variety of musical interests and talents.  Until 1949 local music makers had the opportunity to sing in the Brownhills Choral Society or the Brownhills Co-operative Male Voice Choir.  On January 19th, 1949, it was agreed to the amalgamation of the choirs.  The Brownhills Co-operative Choral Society was thus born, under the auspices of the then Education Department of the Walsall and District Co-operative Society.

Conductor: Deryck Langford, Accompanist: Linda Ewins Smith, Organist: Trevor Barratt.

 

Under the leadership of its first conductor, Mr. George Fullelove, the Choir developed an extensive repertoire which included oratorio and light musical compositions.  Their autumn concert of ‘Brass and Voices’ in Walsall Town Hall has become a well-established annual event.

The Choir regularly presents concerts in aid of local charities and continues to enter Music Festivals throughout the country, including the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod 1974/5/6 &7.  They had the honour of being invited to sing in International concerts during their last two visits.
