Welcome To Our Web Site We are Parkside Colliery Male Voice Choir, we have been based in Ashton-in-Makerfield in the North West of England since our formation 50+ years ago, between the industrialised towns of Leigh, St Helens and Wigan. Originally formed as a colliery choir, we continue to entertain throughout the country long after the colliery itself at Newton-le-Willows closed in March 1993, happy to represent our heritage and our forefathers and proud to include the word colliery in our name. We regularly attend mining related events, memorial services and dedications including Golborne, Maypole (Abram) and Pretoria (Atherton). You can download a copy of the choir history booklet from the FAQ and Links page. Have a look around. We are happy to hear from you just drop us an E-mail. 
TOMMY BROGAN an active chorister with Parkside Colliery Male Voice Choir in Wigan is 100 on 8th August this year (2025) Tommy has been interested in Male Voice Choirs for many years and was a founder member of Côr Meibion Y Fflint (Flint Male Voice Choir) in 1975, before moving to Wigan in 1988 and joining Parkside, at 100 he still sings in Parkside’s concerts and attends our practices each week where he sings in the Baritone section.
Until he was 95 he worked as a “trolly lad” at Wigan Asda at the time owned by Walmart who claimed him to be the oldest supermarket “trolly lad” in the world we at Parkside would like to think he is the oldest active chorister in the world as well.
