Shelfield Male Voice Choir has been entertaining audiences for over 50 years. We perform about 10 concerts a year, raising money for various local charities and sing various styles of music from male voice renditions of hymns to songs from the shows such as Bring Him Home, Some Enchanted Evening and What a Wonderful World.
Amici are a close-knit female vocal group that have been singing together for over 10 years. True to their name - “Amici” means “friends” in Italian and they share a genuine love of music and performing together. Their repertoire is as varied ranging from beautiful classical pieces to wartime favourites and contemporary hits.

Welcome to the Black Country Group
The Black Country Group of the Motor Neurone Disease Association supports those living with MND, their families and carers across the Black Country boroughs of Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton.
We are a volunteer led group who provide a warm welcome and friendship to offer information, advice and support. We also campaign for improved local services for people with MND and fundraise for essential money to provide local support and to fund research into finding treatments and a cure for MND.
The MND Association’s monthly support meetings are held every month at the Mary Stevens Hospice near Stourbridge from 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
We warmly welcome all people living with MND, their carers and families to join us at these meetings. They are very informal and enable you to meet others living with MND in a relaxed and friendly setting and to share experiences over a cup of tea or coffee.
We are still seeking a suitable location for the Walsall/Wolverhampton area so we can hold similar meetings on the northern side of the region. We will update this site once we have confirmed details.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with MND for some time, and whether you decide to pop along for 10 minutes or stay and chat for the whole two hours, you will be very welcome
If you would like to come along, or just want some further information, then don’t hesitate to contact:
