About us
Maesteg Gleemen Male Voice Choir (MVC) was formed in 1958 and is the longest-established choir in the Lynfi Valley and indeed Bridgend, South Wales.

Practice is every Monday and Thursday evening at 7 pm in Nantyffyllon RFC.
If you think you may be interested in joining, come along at 7 pm on practice evenings and talk with us, see what is involved, listen and if you like what you see then join us for a great experience both practising the singing and attending our many events.
