The record for the choir's longest-serving member stands at an incredible 75 years
For more than a century, a humble choir has been the life-long passion of countless Liverpool men, united by a love of music and a sense of family forged over many decades.
Committee chairman Mike Gollop, who joined the choir in 1984 at the age of 33, said: "I realised straight away that it was something that I wanted to do, never having had any experience before. I started from scratch and it has been marvellous. Over the years that has grown into a passion. My life has very much centred around the choir but also it led to me being part of other singing groups.
Surviving two world wars and countless recessions, the choir's "darkest episode" came in 1939, when musical director Edward Dodd suffered fatal head injuries after falling from the stage during a show at St Georges Hall. "Bert Bowers was a member of our choir for 75 years. He joined when he was 18 and he was a member until he died, which we think was a world record. He was closely by Charlie Lloyd, who was 73 years a member. There was always a bit of friendly banter going on between them.
