Press Release
Fron Male Voice Choir feature in "Welcome to Wrexham" TV Series, supporting Wrexham AFC, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney

Wrexham, Wales – The world-renowned Fron Male Voice Choir takes to a new stage in the highly anticipated FX Network TV series, "Welcome to Wrexham," produced by Hollywood icons Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Set to premiere on September 12th, this collaboration showcases the choir's harmonious voices that enrich both the TV series and its captivating trailers.
"Welcome to Wrexham," a venture spearheaded by Reynolds and McElhenney, offers an engaging exploration of the heart and spirit of Wrexham, a Welsh city known for its fervent football culture, and is home to Wrexham AFC, a club rejuvenated under the dynamic ownership of the Hollywood duo. The Fron Male Voice Choir's involvement adds a layer of authenticity, deeply connecting the series to the city’s cultural fabric and its unyielding support for the local football scene.
Since acquiring ownership and control of Wrexham AFC, Reynolds and McElhenney have brought renewed vigour to the club and city alike, propelling Wrexham onto the international stage and uniting passionate supporters worldwide.
Fron Male Voice Choir, esteemed for their musical excellence, holds a distinguished record with multiple acclaimed albums and sought-after recording contracts. Their international presence shines, having triumphed at prestigious events like the Llangollen Eisteddfod on four separate occasions.
The choir, hailing from Froncysyllte (the Fron), near the picturesque town of Llangollen, only a few minutes from Wrexham’s football ground, perfectly embodies the cultural richness or the area.

After a successful first series, "Welcome to Wrexham" has unveiled two riveting Season 2 trailers to date, both featuring the Fron Male Voice Choir. This musical collaboration not only enhances the series' authenticity but also underscores the choir's deep dedication to their community, support for their local football team and the preservation of Welsh traditions. As part of their involvement, the Fron Choir performed a version of “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” in front of 10,000 jubilant fans during the half-time interval at the final match of the season which features heavily in the TV series. Wrexham AFC played Borehamwood and won 3-1, securing the National League title and a return to the Football League after a 15-year absence.
The synergy between the choir, FX Networks and Wrexham AFC amplifies the confluence of arts, culture, and sports. Fron Male Voice Choir's participation serves as a testament to the unique spirit and pride of Wrexham, blending seamlessly with the overarching narrative of the series.
Speaking about their involvement, choir Secretary, Steve Winn said “we were contacted by FX Networks in February 2023 asking if we would be interested in working with them for the promotional trailer for the upcoming season of Welcome to Wrexham and we immediately said ‘yes’!
The Fron Choir has always had close ties to Wrexham AFC and the city. A chorister and one of the brothers-in-song, Ian 'Jacko' Roberts, was a man who exemplified the spirit of Wrexham. For several generations he was the beating heart of the Wrexham AFC matchday experience and was well known to all Wrexham AFC followers. Sadly, Jacko died in 2017 but he and will always be remembered as the King of the Kop”.
