The Choir today

Getting ready for a Monday rehearsal

Every Monday evening 70 men or more converge on the Steeton Methodist Chapel Schoolroom for their weekly rehearsal. Although the number of Steeton men in the choir has declined over the years, the village still remains their headquarters. The reputation of the choir particularly over the last quarter of a century now attracts men from a much wider area, some travelling from parts of the Leeds and Bradford conurbation and others from some of the lovely Dales villages. Keighley, Skipton and Ilkley also provide strong contingents. As a result, our membership now numbers around 80, and continues to grow in defiance of national trends.


Steeton Methodist Church

The choir is in great demand, performing about 25 times a year in venues ranging from tiny chapels and churches to magnificent cathedrals, concert halls and arenas. The choir has contributed to massed male voice choir events in the Royal Albert Hall, The National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff and The Manchester Evening News Arena, the Sheffield Arena and St George's Hall, Bradford. Small groups from the choir also go to entertain residents in Nursing Homes and Sheltered Housing complexes. In addition to its many concerts around Britain, has travelled to the continent on five occasions to sing in various places in Germany, Holland and Belgium receiving tremendous applause and making many new friends there.
