London Welsh Male Voice Choir (Welsh: Côr Meibion Cymry Llundain) is a Welsh Male Voice Choir based in London, UK.
The choir in its current form was established in 1961 but traces its history back to the original London Welsh Male Choir that was founded in 1902[4]. The choir is an important part of the culture and community of the Welsh diaspora in London and is frequently called upon to sing at significant occasions for the Welsh in London such as St Davids' Day celebrations and the funerals of notable Welsh individuals.[5][6]
Affectionately known as the "Red Jackets" (by comparison with the 'Green Jackets' of Gwalia Male Choir and the 'Black Jackets' of the London Welsh Rugby Club Choir [7]), London Welsh Male Voice Choir is the oldest and, traditionally, the largest of the London based Welsh Male Voice Choirs[8]. The choir is currently based at the London Welsh Centre at 157-163 Gray's Inn Road, London. [9].
The London Welsh Male Voice Choir is a registered charity.[10]
