Only Men Aloud was formed in 2000, with the aim of injecting new blood into the Welsh choir tradition. September 2013 saw a complete reinvention of the group, as the choir became a honed and toned vocal ensemble.
The men bring both a new sound and a more varied and eclectic repertoire to the mix, from Welsh folksongs and hymns to music theatre and opera, barbershop and swing to pop.
Following their shake-up, the Classical Brit Award winners who came to prominence as BBC One’s Last Choir Standing have embarked on many extensive tours, all around the world. They now have worldwide record sales of over 300,000.
Over the years, the hugely popular group has built up a strong fan base across the country and were honoured to be asked to sing in the London 2012 Opening Ceremony at the very moment the Olympic Flame was lit.
OMA have given many memorable performances, with numerous appearances at outdoor festivals and proms. In 2014, they undertook a highly successful tour of the USA including performances at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival and the North American Festival of Wales in Minneapolis.
OMA have now recorded five studio albums and plans are afoot for a sixth, later this year. They continue their busy touring and concert schedule, right across the UK and beyond.
