Our History
  
Graham and Pat Stubbs in 1984
Graham and Pat Stubbs
Tenby Male Choir was founded in 1975 by Graham Stubbs, who became its first musical director. He, aided by his wife Pat, as the choir's accompanist, led the choir for almost 23 highly successful years. In 1998, Graham handed over the baton to Claire Harrison, who in turn was replaced by Christine Shewry in 2000. Christine served with distinction until November 2006
 
The choir has travelled extensively at home and abroad, performing in Churches, cathedrals and concert halls. Overseas destinations have included Holland, Gibraltar, Ireland,Yugoslavia, Malta, Gran Canaria, Romania and ItalySince its founding, the choir has competed in many competitions and eisteddfodau. It was finalist at the Welsh Association of Male Choir Competition twice, winning the Tumble Eisteddfod on eight occasions and Cardigan on three occasions. It has appeared five times at the Royal Albert Hall Massed Choir concerts, most recently in March 2000.
 
Over the years, the choir has been privileged to introduce to audiences many talented, local, young people, who are or were students at The Greenhill School Tenby, which serves the local area. Under the guidance of Paul Rapi, Head of Music and Drama, (formerly the choir's assistant MD,) the school constantly nurtures a considerable wealth of new talent. We are much indebted to these "rising stars", their parents and teachers.
