Explaining who can join, the spokesman added: "The group is for men who can hold a tune. Most people join after a singing course and audition by singing their own part reasonably accurately in a small group of the other parts.

"We have a sister chorus for women, called Phoenix, who meet on Tuesdays."

In the past, Shannon Express has won gold medals at competitions in the USA.
