Dalesmen Male Voice Choir

Bill was born at Eastwood, Nottinghamshire and now lives at Tansley, near Matlock. He is married to Mary and they have a son and a daughter.


Bill is an electrician by trade but his greatest pleasure is making music. He has successfully accompanied the Choir since 1997 and is held in high regard by all those around him.


He is also organist / pianist for Tansley Methodist Church and for other musical groups in the area. Bill says, "I see my strength in accompanying rather than as a soloist, so I enjoy contributing to the overall sound of the Choir in full harmony"
He is a loyal and highly valued member of the Dalesmen, where he is known as "Mr. Reliable".

John was born in Swansea and after graduating from Swansea University he joined Rolls Royce, hence he came to Derbyshire.
