Premise

Fierce rivalries flare to the surface in a small Welsh town over a coveted role in the local choir.

Cast

Critical reception

Eye for Film noted "an enjoyable if somewhat low-key story which, at 72 minutes in length, would make for a suitably harmonious Sunday afternoon. From the whistle of the steam trains, to the film’s score, provided courtesy of the London Welsh Association Choral Society, Valley Of Song is a pleasing if utterly unchallenging delight."[4]
