Tuesday 12th July 2005 provided another demonstration of the far reaching reputation enjoyed by Dursley Male Voice Choir, when it hosted a concert by the National New Zealand Male Voice Choir.  The New Zealand Choir was in the midst of its second tour to the UK, the first having occurred in 1999 in response to an invitation from a Welsh Choir to perform in the Millennium concert that year.

Mark Stuart Burrows, Managing Director of Melody Music in Cardiff, who dealt with the logistics of their present tour had been looking for an appropriate venue for the choir to perform a concert.  He was aware of Dursley's standing in the region and so invited them to mount this concert. 

Early concerns that a mid-week event might present problems with ticket sales were soon proved unnecessary, with people from far and near clamouring to be there.  The event was a total sell-out with a waiting list for any last minute return tickets.
