Formed in January 2000, Only Men Aloud! set out to inject some new blood into the Welsh male choir tradition by encouraging young men to sing in Wales’ most famous musical tradition.
Highlights of performance have included regular slots on BBC’s Radio 4 and Radio 2, plus BBC’s Songs of Praise. In 2003 OMA! won the male choir category in the inaugural year of S4C’s Cor Cymru. In 2004 the choir were chosen to perform on three separate occasions during the opening of the Wales Millennium Centre. They performed in the Opening Ceremony, Royal gala, and also sang in the pre opening banquet, honouring various eminent Welsh figures including, amongst others, Bryn Terfel, Sian Phillips and Shirley Bassey. This was the first official musical performance by any group in this new national venue.

thanks for a fabulous night in Liverpool. The vocals sounded amazing and despite a technical hitch we could still hear Thomas at the start of Bridge over troubled water , great show. well done
OMA! Just to wish you all the very best for the UK tour starting on 28th. I am sure you are all going to have a wonderful time.
We have both watched the Shan Cothi programmes to date but I think tomorrow's programme is going to be a real taster for the tour, together with Rhys Meiron (another fabulous welsh tenor) & Catrin Finch.
Take care of yourselves & see you all on the 12th! - counting down the days now. Love Jane x
Hope you're having a good week guys! I just parted with my personal copy of your album so that my step-sister could take it back home to LA with her! So, tomorrow I'll buy another copy :) Listening to you makes me have 'hiraeth!!'
