Mevagissey also boasts one of the largest and most successful Male Voice Choirs in the County, with almost 70 singing members.  Male Voice Choirs are traditionally very popular within Cornwall, there being some 33 federated Choirs in the County numbering approximately 1300 singers out of a total population of nearly half a million.

In 1974 a group of 16 local men, the majority being from Percy Mitchell's boatyard, got together and formed the choir we know today.  Testament to their durability is the fact that 12 founder members of that nucleus still sing with the Choir and continue to take an active part to this very day. Nowadays, members come from the length and breadth of Cornwall to attend practices and concerts.

The Choir gives approximately 25 concerts per year throughout England, raising several thousand pounds annually for both local and national charities.  Periodically, the Choir is invited to travel overseas to give concerts, and venues include St Michael's Cave, Gibraltar, the majestic Teatro Batazar Dias, Maderia plus venues in USA, Canada, Ireland and Western Europe, notably France, Germany and Holland.

Closer to home, concerts have been given throughout the County and the rest of England, with venues including The Eden Project, Truro Cathedral, The Hall for Cornwall, Dartington Hall, Devon, The Royal Albert Hall, Westminster Abbey and Parliament Gardens, London, to name but a few.  At home in either a small village chapel or a grant cathedral, the Choir recently took part in the International Male Voice Choir Festival  held at the Hall for Cornwall, Truro, and against stiff opposition from many European Choirs, Mevagissey Male Choir came 5th overall and 2nd (just 1 point behind the winning Choir) in the Best Cornish Choir category.

Much of the Choir's success is down to their excellent Musical Director, Graham Willcocks.  A former Choir member, Graham comes from a musical background, including barbershop, so it is no surprise that the choir has its own successful barbershop quartet.  Graham has stamped his unique style on the choir, demanding high results throughout.  The Choir is also extremely lucky to have a long standing accompanist in Brian Mitchell, known throughout Cornwall as an excellent organist, and a true Son of Mevagissey.  A young and extremely talented musician, Mathew Fox has recently joined the team as assistant accompanist.   He will no doubt add considerably to our depth of support.

The Choir has several CD recordings of their own, with another in the pipeline, and have also assisted on several other records for artists such as Jackie Leven, a professional recording artist, the rock band King Adora (punk meets Male Voice Choir!) and provided the backing on a track for an album by Ralph McTell who had a massive hit with "The Streets of London".
