The Daleian Singers have been in existence since 1957,originating in the village of Silverdale, near to Newcastle under Lyme, in North Staffordshire.

During 2007 we celebrated our Golden Jubilee year.
Our Celebration Concert at the Victoria Hall, Hanley was a sell-out success as we recounted in song the past 50 years. Tenor Alfie Boe our guest for the evening proving to be an instant hit.

Over the first weekend of November 2010, we were involved in a choral festival in Llandudno.
Competing with Nine (9) male voice choirs from Sweden to Wicklow in Ireland
and the home of Male Voice Singing, Wales. The standard was very high.
Unfortunately we didn't win, however, this was said of Sue our accompanist and Chair -

“It’s not a competition for Accompanists, or Musical Directors, but we feel that the Accompanist for
The Daleian Singers deserves special mention”
