Welsh gay men’s choir share hilarious take on the reality of dating apps and it’s just brilliant – Wales Online

An all gay men’s chorus in Wales have released an video giving their take on gay dating in 2021.

The South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus, founded in 2008, released the video on their YouTube channel in an effort to give an entertaining insight into the dark realities of gay dating apps.

Composed by Dr Gareth Churchill, the video is a unique collaboration from various singing members of the group across South Wales.

Hitting notes from the comfort of their own home due to Covid restrictions, that hasn’t stopped the group from creating a well needed pick-me-up for viewers to enjoy.

Craig Stephens, Chair of the committee said that attending the sessions was a great reliever of stress and a form of therapy for him.

“For me personally I had a job with quite a lot of responsibility and on a Thursday evening I would kind of sing away my stresses of the week and get ready for the weekend,” he said.

“It was really therapeutic.

“We have open evenings normally twice a year. Some people like it and stay and some people don’t. I think a lot of people would recognise it as being some kind of therapy.”

The video posted in April this year comically references the experience of gay men dating on Grindr. Grindr is a leading dating app catered towards gay men and can be quite difficult to navigate, as the lyrics in the video suggest.

In a non-Covid world, the chorus would travel allover the UK to sing and perform for various charities and Pride events. So far, the chorus have performed in countless venues in Cardiff and across Wales.

The Chorus are always looking for new members. If you’re keen to lend your vocals to this talented bunch send them an email at gaychorus@gmail.com
