The Luton Girls Choir singing My Heart and I

The Luton Girls Choir was an English vocal ensemble that performed between 1936 and 1977, and made popular radio broadcasts and recordings between the 1940s and 1960s. It was established and directed throughout its existence by Arthur Ernest Davies (1897–1977). Initially, the choir performed locally in and around Luton. By the end of the Second World War, they were sufficiently well-known to perform elsewhere within Britain. They travelled to Denmark in 1952, and then more widely, including a successful trip to Australia and New Zealand in 1959. The choir also broadcast on BBC radio, and made many recordings. A charitable trust was established on behalf of the choir, and during its existence it raised over £100,000 for charities. Arthur Davies was awarded the M.B.E. for services to music, and in 1962 was profiled on the TV programme This Is Your Life. He became too ill to remain as Musical Director in 1976, and after his death the following year it was decided that the choir should not continue. The choir gave its final performance at a tribute concert for Arthur Davies on 5 November 1977
