History
The choir was formed in 1929, and consisted mainly of men and women occupied in the newspaper and print trades. Its founder and conductor was T. B. Lawrence (d 1953). The choir gave at least 20 public performances in England each year, and also toured European countries including Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The choir continued during World War II, but closed at the end of it, or shortly after, to be reformed as the Dorian Singers.
