There’s something magical about live music – the kind that gives you goosebumps, brings a tear to your eye, or makes you sit back and say, “Wow.” And if you’re looking for that kind of experience in Dorset this spring, look no further than Johns’ Boys Welsh Male Choir.
This isn’t your average choir. Think viral internet sensations, Britain’s Got Talent finalists, winners of one of the most prestigious choral competitions in the world, and chart-topping classical hits… all wrapped up in the heart and soul of the Welsh choral tradition.
They're coming to Bournemouth on Saturday 24th May, and they’re bringing something truly special: the Choir of the World trophy – a title held by only one other male voice choir in history, and never before by a British one.
Here’s why this concert is an unmissable moment for Dorset.
1. They’re Bringing the Choir of the World Trophy – and History – to Dorset
In 2023, Johns’ Boys made history as the only British male voice choir to ever win the coveted Choir of the World Prize at the Llangollen International Music Eisteddfod. That makes them just the second male choir globally to hold this honour.
They’ll be bringing the trophy to Bournemouth – a rare chance for audiences to witness a piece of choral history up close. This is more than a concert; it’s a celebration of an extraordinary achievement.
2. You’ve Probably Seen Them on TV…
If the name sounds familiar, that’s because you’ve likely seen them on Britain’s Got Talent. Their emotional, goosebump-inducing performances captured the hearts of millions and earned praise from Simon Cowell, who called them “a brilliant choir.”
Since then, they’ve appeared on The Royal Variety Show, Last Night of the Proms, and joined Alfie Boe and Michael Ball on a chart-topping album.
3. Their Viral Cover of “Biblical” is Just the Beginning
Their breathtaking rendition of Biblical by Calum Scott racked up millions of views online and hit number one on the iTunes Classical Chart. That performance alone would be worth the ticket – but there’s so much more in store.
Expect unforgettable versions of songs like Harry Styles’ Falling, Nella Fantasia, and the soul-stirring Welsh hymn Calon Lân.
4. They’re Redefining the Male Voice Choir
Yes, there are big harmonies and a deep, rich choral sound. But Johns’ Boys bring a freshness and modern energy that makes every performance feel current and heartfelt.
They blend tradition with innovation, and it works beautifully – even for those who think they “aren’t into choirs.”
5. They’re Made Up of Real People with Real Stories
One of the most inspiring things about Johns’ Boys is their humanity. The choir includes farmers, students, teachers, tradesmen – each with a different story, united through music.
That connection shines through in every note they sing, creating a truly moving experience for the audience.
6. You’ll Leave Feeling Uplifted and Inspired
There’s something special about voices in harmony – it reminds us of what’s possible when people come together. This concert promises joy, emotion, reflection, and celebration. A night like this stays with you.
Whether you’re a classical music fan or just love a great night out, you'll leave with a full heart.
7. It’s the Perfect Dorset Night Out
Make an evening of it – book dinner before the show, take a sunset stroll on Bournemouth beach, and top it all off with one of the UK’s best choirs. It’s a brilliant way to enjoy the very best Dorset has to offer this spring.
