Description
Mevagissey is a small, picturesque, working fishing village with a population of approximately 2,500 people and lies on the South Coast of Cornwall, midway between Plymouth and Falmouth. Now firmly on the tourist map, Mevagissey is the very epitome of a Cornish fishing village, with its twin harbours nestled in the corner of a sheltered bay, and its narrow, winding streets, lined with cob and slate fishermans' cottages, all converging on to the quayside. Mevagissey also boasts one of the largest and most successful Male Voice Choirs in the County, with almost 70 singing members. Male Voice Choirs are traditionally very popular within Cornwall, there being some 33 federated Choirs in the County numbering approximately 1300 singers out of a total population of nearly half a million. In 1974 a group of 16 local men, the majority being from Percy Mitchell's boatyard, got together and formed the choir we know today. Testament to their durability is the fact that 12 founder members of that nucleus still sing with the Choir and continue to take an active part to this very day. The Choir also boasts several Father and Son combinations and even a Grandfather, Father and Son! Nowadays, members come from the length and breadth of Cornwall to attend practices and concerts.
