New Video - The Colliers’ Requiem
08/03/16
At our concert in St Peter’s Church, Shipley on 27th Feb 2016, we performed The Colliers’ Requiem from the cantata Fell ‘Em Doon by Derek Hobbs. This piece has become a real favourite with the choir and our audiences. The closure of the Kellingley Colliery, UK’s last deep coal mine, in December 2015 has given the song even deeper significance.
As the song says “One by one, the mines have come and gone - now there’s none”
Our heartfelt thanks to Eric

Chairman David Borley (left) presents Eric Parker with his Certificate of Appreciation
At Monday’s rehearsal, the choir gave a resounding welcome back to Eric Parker, who had been missing with health problems since before Christmas. In addition to being a stalwart member of the Bass section and the Choir Committee, for the past six years, Eric has carried out the combined roles of Concert Secretary, Press and Publicity Officer and also administered the sales of concert tickets. A huge job indeed and time for a well earned retirement from these roles, so we took the opportunity to present Eric with a Certificate of Appreciation as a token of our regard for him and all the work he has done.
It had been decided that Eric’s role should not be passed on to one man alone, so in his place we have George Hladowski as Concert Secretary and David Barraclough as Press and Publicity Officer (see the Contacts page for details). Eric will continue to have a role in the sale of tickets to the public, but he will now have the assistance of Charles Sowden.

Hallelujah - Steeton sings with the ladies!
22/11/15
Hallelujah! SMVC and Opus 44 at the Octagon
Sunday afternoon is not our usual time for a concert nor is the Octagon in Sandbeds, Keighley a typical venue for us. However last year’s concert with Ladies Choir, Opus 44 at the same time and place had been such a success, we definitely lookedforward to repeating the experience.
Opus 44 are a highly accomplished choir and their well-chosen programme showed them at their very best, and the more robust (and definitely more masculine!) qualities of Steeton MVC made for an extremely well-balanced concert, much-appreciated by the full and enthusiastic audience.
The concert closed by the two choirs joining forces in Handel’s Hallelujah chorus and considering we had never sung this together before (not even to practice) it went extremely well.
We really look forward to singing with Opus 44 again soon!
