About Us
In June 1992, a dozen or so male voice enthusiasts gathered in the real ale bar of a quiet country hotel to discuss the idea of setting up a male voice choir, an ingredient which had been missing from Jersey’s otherwise rich musical mix for the best part of a decade.
The result was the formation of The Harmony Men, a name chosen as a suitably upbeat reflection of the founders’ musical intentions and their determination that the emphasis should be firmly on entertainment.
Under the baton of musical director Annette Blanchet who took over the helm in 2017, The Harmony Men remain true to their original philosophy. The repertoire is dominated by quality arrangements of modern and well-known songs - with just enough of a presence from the more weighty composers to satisfy the traditionalists.
With a membership of around 30 singers, The Harmony Men take their music seriously, performing several formal concerts each year but - to the delight of supporters and unsuspecting members of the public alike - will happily still sing a few chords in the odd country inn when the opportunity arises.
