The Fron Male Voice Choir
6,053 plays (810 listeners)
On November the 20th 2006 the choir released its first commercial recording under contract to Universal and it became an instant hit. It is this CD “Voices of the Valley” and the subsequent follow up album “Voices of the Valley Encore” that has brought the choir’s performances to the wider British public. The first album went gold in under a week becoming the fastest selling classical record of all time. It spent almost six months at the top of the classical charts as well as reaching no.9 in the album charts, and has so far sold over half a million copies. The album was still in the Classical Top ten a year after release. On the 20th of September the album was released in Australia and it jumped to the top of the Australian classical charts and again the Fron was awarded a Gold disc for its Australian sales.
The albums success has resulted in appearances on TV programmes such as the Paul O’Grady Show, This Morning (twice), Country File, Parkinson Christmas Show, the Rugby World Cup, Songs of Praise and a documentary screened on BBC2 called “Strictly Male Voice.”
