Some members of Friday Voices had been singing together for more than 30 years in the Burton area, and for much of that time, Friday night had been singing night. In 2004 the idea emerged to form a new group of singers to keep the Friday tradition going, and after responding to an invitation from Chris Mallinson, a well respected and highly talented choral animateur, a band of willing but wary singers gathered together in a small village in Staffordshire and wondered what they had let themselves in for!

It turned out that the main activity of the Friday evenings that followed was discussion about the name of the new group, but in between, Chris Mallinson began to meld the individual voices into a distinct sound, the people there began to discover an enjoyment of singing with each other, and a choir was born. The choir’s inaugural concert was given in Swadlincote in April 2005, and the choir was fully launched onto the unsuspecting public in a joint concert with Choros Amici (Sainsbury Choir of the Year) in July 2005.
'Friday Voices' exists to have fun, to work hard, and to sing to the highest standard it can achieve.
So we hope you enjoy looking at our website and don't forget, wherever you see the Dirk's Diary sign, you can click on the link for a truthful (!) account of the choir's adventures !
