A male voice choir which is touring for the first time in five years will be being their show to Llandrindod Wells.

Only Men Aloud will be performing ‘A Merry Little Christmas’ on Saturday, November 23 at 7pm at the Albert Hall in Llandrindod Wells.

They have been delighting audiences around the world for well over 20 years. 

They were formed in 2000, with the hope they could inject some new life and blood into the Welsh Male Choir tradition.

The men have become well known for their strong vocals and their varied and eclectic repertoire. 

A typical OMA concert will feature many different styles of music including Welsh hymns and folksongs, opera and music theatre all the way to acapella and pop music.

Craig from Only Men Aloud said; “After five years, we’re finally back on tour and we can’t wait to sing to all of our friends and fans – it’s been too long! We’ve really missed touring and can’t wait to get on the road and perform for you all once again. Christmas has always been a really special time for us and we’re excited to sing our Christmas songs to you, and start off your festivities.”

Only Men Aloud were named BBC One’s Last Choir Standing, and this led to an album deal with Universal Records. 

In 2010, they won a Classical Brit Award for Best Album of the Year. They toured every year after winning the show, all around the world and have worldwide record sales of over 300,000.

Over the years, the hugely popular group has built up a strong fan base across the country and were honoured to be asked to sing at the London 2012 Opening Ceremony at the very moment the Olympic Flame was lit. This performance was broadcast to an estimated global TV audience of 900 million people. 

Only Men Aloud have given many memorable performances over the years, with numerous appearances at outdoor festivals and proms, including supporting the legendary Diana Ross at Cardiff Castle in 2022. 

They have performed twice at The Royal Variety Performance, been seen on numerous television programmes and are familiar faces at sporting events; they sang at the opening ceremony of the Ryder Cup in 2010 and the Ashes in 2015. 

In 2014, they undertook a highly successful tour of the USA including performances at the famous Ravinia Festival in Chicago and the North American Festival of Wales in Minneapolis, not to mention have performed at The UEFA Champions League Final Celebrations in Cardiff.

Tickets for the show are £32.50 for reserved seats and wheelchair spaces and VIP reserved seats including the best seats in the house, early entry to the show and a VIP sound check with Only Men Aloud is £65.
