The choir was formed in 1957 by a group of choristers from Silverdale Methodist Chapel.
They called themselves the Daleian Singers, a name chosen to reflect the geographical connection of this North Staffordshire Male Voice Choir.

Over the years the Daleians have built up an enviable reputation as formidable competitors in the festival arena. Daleian successes include wins at Blackpool, Bourneville, Buxton, Southport, Tamworth, Pontrhydfendigaid and Minsterley (3 in succession).

Despite many festival successes, the Daleians regard themselves primarily as entertainers and although much in demand "at home"
they have given concerts as far a field as "The Lakes", Cornwall, as well as in Yorkshire and Lancashire
and a celebrity concert on Llandudno Pier. In addition the choir have given a number of performances in support of local and national charities.

During 2004 we enjoyed the May bank holiday in the "Land of Song", sharing a concert with the RAF St Athan Voluntary Band.

For the May bank holiday 2005 we enjoyed a visit into the Kent countryside, singing at Shorne Village Hall and Gravesend Methodist Church.
During our time there we also took time out to sail up the River Thames from Greenwich to the London Eye, where the choir sang in one of the pods as we viewed the expanse of the capital city below us.

Our visit to Great Yarmouth during 2008, was a resounding success with the choir helping to raise £1000 for All Hallows Hospital.

Of note during 2009 was our concert at the Westminster Theatre at Keele University to raise funds
for the Rotary Club of Newcastle under Lyme in support of Eradicating Polio, over £1400 being raised.

July 2009 also saw us in the "Land of Song", where we joined Colwyn Male Voice Choir,
in raising £500 for the Gurka Trust.

In the early days, BBC Radio Stoke signed off their evening programme with a musical recording by the Daleians.
The Choir also features on a special BBC recording of "Songs of Praise", produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the BBC.

Our latest CD entitled "Pure Gold" has just been released and recounts in song the tunes sung by the choir over the past 50 years.
