A little information about the DALESMEN
The choir was formed in 1987 by a small band of enthusiasts in the Derbyshire Dales.
The main aim being to enjoy singing together and to add to the musical life in the area.
Since that time the choir has grown into a highly successful group of over 60 choristers from many areas of Derbyshire.
A founder member and President of the choir is the Rev Reg Dean, who celebrated his 105th Birthday last year, He rarely misses a practice, committee meeting, or concert and sings 2nd bass.
The Choir rehearses weekly throughout the year, Their MD. is John Lloyd and accompanist William Templeman ensuring they maintain a full and varied programme of music rehearsed to a very high standard.
The Choir performs at around thirty events annually, supporting a wide range of charities and increasing their good reputation and popularity both on the concert platform and concert arena.
In 2002 the Choir visited Barnstaple with three singing
appointments with the Barnstaple Male Voice Choir, and also sang with the Pembroke Male Voice Choir in a combined Jubilee Concert at the County Hall, Matlock.
They shared a concert with the band of HM Royal Marines School of Music and Thorntons Brass at Derby Cathedral to celebrate Derby's Anniversary of becoming a City, The Choir appeared with The Syd Lawrence Orchestra at Wirksworth Leisure Centre in front of an audience of over five hundred in celebration of the Reverend Reg Dean's 100th birthday.
The Choir now rehearses every
Monday 7.30pm to 9.30pm at the
Strutt Centre, Derby Road,
Belper, Derbyshire.
