Besh Cornish Choir in Festival
It was a tough competition with 4 excellent choirs competing, Peterborough Male Voice Choir, Risca Male Choir and our dear friends Mousehole Male Voice Choir. All the choirs in the class were exceptional, and we knew we had our work cut out for us. However, we are very thankful to the Cornwall International Male Choral Festival Judges and team for their marks.

Festival Interceltique Lorient 2026
This August Celtic Male Ensemble feel very honoured to be invited to attend the Festival Interceltique Lorient, France. Each year the French town of Lorient in Brittany is taken over by hundreds of artists and thousands of festival goers. The boys are beyond excited (and slightly nervous) about attending such a prestigious event. With singing, dancing, musicians, bands and events going on all over Lorient, with evening performances in the Stade Du Moustoir – Yves Allainmat Football stadium which only holds 18 thousand people.
All Info, Ticketing, Programming, Artists can be found on the Festival Interceltique Lorient website - https://www.festival-interceltique.bzh/programmation-2026/
