Welcome

Voices from the Wells

We are a thriving male voice choir based in one of Kent’s most attractive and bustling towns with a fascinating history and connection to Royalty.We come from all walks of life and share a passion for singing some of the world’s best music.

Led by our talented professional team of our Musical Director Kent Lee and Accompanist Adam Crane, we delight our audiences with the wide range of our music, our beautiful 4 part harmonies, and the power and sensitivity of our singing.

We love to sing for good causes, and we also have a special relationship with Bennett Memorial Music Academy whose students regularly perform in our concerts.

About us

Founded in 1938, we are currently about 40 strong. We have a lot of fun!

Over the decades we have raised many tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities and churches. Occasionally we sing for businesses and individuals who want to mark some special event. Former Mayor Julian Stanyer has described us as “an asset to the town”.

We sing 6-10 concerts a year including one for ourselves which for several years has been held in May at Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells.

We have also sung at many prestigious venues—The Royal Festival Hall, The Royal Albert Hall, Millennium Stadium, Rochester Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, and London’s Guildhall.

We have sung on radio and television and won awards in a number of competitions.

The choir has toured abroad many times, including to Germany, Belgium and Holland, and taken part in the Menin Gate Ceremony which was a very special experience. We have hosted visits by choirs from those and other countries.
