Dunvant Male Choir (Côr Meibion Dyfnant) is the oldest continuously singing Welsh choir and is based in Dunvant, Swansea, Wales.

History
The Choir was founded in 1895.

The arrival of the railway in 1867 changed Dunvant and its surrounding villages forever. It allowed the development of the coal seams in the area, local quarries, brick works and an iron foundry. It attracted people to move into the village and with the spread of new housing, to triple the size of the village. By good fortune the station master at Dunvant on the London & N.W. Railway, Mr Isaac (Station Master 1880-1892), was a man of some musical talent and he stirred the musical interests of the village by leading a mixed choir at Siloam Chapel and using the station waiting room at Dunvant for rehearsals of the Killay and Dunvant united choir.

As the number of villagers grew so did the need for Dunvant to have its own chapel and Ebenezer was built in 1872, expanded in 1882 and the present Ebenezer Chapel built in 1893 becoming the heart of the village.

As more and more villagers attended Ebenezer and the great religious revival of the 1890’s took hold David Evans of Three Crosses, who had trained under Joseph Parry and was a fine tenor and had won several Eisteddfod prizes, started a small male only group at Ebenezer and also formed Gowerton Male Choir around 1890.

This was developed by T C Richards who drew male members of Ebenezer and other chapel choirs to form the Dunvant Ebenezer Excelsior Male Voice Choir in 1895 and laid the foundation for its success in local Eisteddfods, taking 1st prize in Neath in 1901 and being presented with an oak chair that still resides in Ebenezer Chapel to this day.
