Only Men Aloud
Last updated: 04 November 2010
On 'All Things Considered' this week (Sunday 9 November at 9am, repeated on Thursday 11 November at 6.30am), there's another chance to hear Roy Jenkins interview with Tim Rhys Evans, founder and musical director of 'Only Men Aloud', the choir which is often portrayed as the bright shining hope for the ailing Welsh male voice tradition.
The choir's success in the Â鶹Éç television contest 'Last Choir Standing' on them millions of admirers and landed a tour to packed concert halls around Britain, trips to prestigious venues in the United States, and a private performance at Buckingham Palace. There has also been a multi-million pound recording deal. In October 2009 (when the programme was first broadcast), 'Only Men Aloud', accompanied by the Â鶹Éç National Orchestra of Wales launch their new CD entitled 'Band of Brothers'.
