Carlton Male Voice Choir will celebrate its Centenary in 2008
- a very important landmark!
The beginnings...
Originally called the Netherfield Male Voice Choir, a group of
railwaymen, under the early leadership of local coal merchant
Mattie Mann, met for the sheer joy of singing in a suburb of Nottingham;
they were soon giving concerts to entertain and support an incredible
range of deserving causes.
