Last weekend saw another busy time for the choir. It started on Friday night (3rd May 2019) where the choir performed at the Celtic Manor for the Care after Combat South Wales Region Spring Ball. Care after Combat is a UK based charity providing professional assistance for the well-being of Veterans and their family. The Spring Ball included an auction to raise money to continue supporting Welsh Veterans. Guests included Jim Davidson OBE, Sheri Hamilton-Shaw (X Factor), Kev Johns MBE (Swansea Sound) and Will Kevans (Caricaturist).

On Saturday we were honoured to be asked to sing at Leanne and William’s wedding which was held at Llangynidr Church. It was a lovely day and the choir thoroughly enjoys performing at weddings and to be part of the couples special day.

Members of the choir were delighted to be invited to sing at the Guildhall in Brecon on Sunday, for an event organised by the Saline Twinning Association. Representatives from Saline, Michigan, USA were present including Brian Marl, Saline’s Mayor. Manny Trailor, Brecon town Mayor, was also in attendance, together with members of Brecon Town Council and the Twinning Association. Here was a great opportunity for old friendships made during the previous choir visit in 1992 to be renewed. Only 3 original members and 1 past member were present from this time, as well as our MD and our accompanist, Aysha Waghorn. We will have to start planning to visit Saline again in the near future.
