Our Story
About Buckley Singers
Established over 130 years ago and formerly known as Buckley Choral Society, we are a mixed choir which meets at Buckley Cross Methodist Church, Padeswood Road North CH72JL every Thursday at 7.30 pm. We sing in many genres from classical to modern; from Bach to The Beatles and beyond.
No formal training is required, we do not hold auditions.
You just need to enjoy singing with others; whether you are a soprano, alto, tenor or bass, we would welcome you into our singing group, to make new friends and share in the joy of singing together.
We perform at a number of venues and for any number of occasions.
We can be booked for weddings and funerals and private events. In the past we have sung at flower festivals at local churches, taken part in Wrexham Street Singing and performed at private parties and entertained residents in local care homes. Buckley Singers try to raise funds for charity when we perform. Charitable donations have been made to Nightingale House Hospice, The Neuro-Therapy Centre in Saltney, MIND CYMRU and the RNLI.
Highlights from 2024 included making the video of 'Crossing the Bar', which you can view below, taking part in 'Two Hundred Voices for Two Hundred Years' concert for the RNLI in Flint, singing at Criccieth beach in aid of the RNLI, singing for the Elders' Festival at Chester Storyhouse and concerts with Suzie's Ukelele Band and Royal Buckley Town Band, as well as our visits to local nursing homes.
We made this video along with Northop Voices & Upton Community Choir in aid of Flint RNLI. Their lifesaving work on the River Dee reaches from Point of Ayr through to Chester. We were delighted to work with members of the Chester University Dance Department and Flint Lifeboat Station. Listen to us singing Craig McLeish's beautiful setting of Tennyson's 'Crossing The Bar'.
This video was made as a fundraiser for our local lifeboat station and we raised over £1000 for Flint RNLI. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
