On April 20th we sang at the Waterfront Museum at a conference organised by Swansea University College of Engineering. It was for Ser Solar, and the conference was entitled ‘Printed Photovoltaics: From Materials to Manufacture’. We sang while the delegates arrived for their pre dinner drinks and we were well received.

We have added our support to Blaenafon Male Voice Choir’s film project aimed at attracting more people to join male choirs before the wonderful Welsh tradition literally dies out. We have had a number of illnesses lately affecting our numbers, and this is a problem for just about every male choir. Although we have been successful in attracting a few younger members over the past few years, we still require a lot more to ensure our continuing existence. We wish them every success and will give as much help as we can.

Our annual concert line-up has been finalised and we are pleased to announce that LaSe will be joining us for this year’s concert. LaSe are a group made up of sisters from South Wales and will sing a variety of items including classical, jazz, pop, gospel and traditional Welsh and Irish songs. Their name is made up of their initials Laura, Alex, Sarah and Emma. We are also doing something different this year, as we have obtained the services of ‘Crying Out Loud’ to accompany us for the second half of the concert. They are a band, which include our own Steve Wilson on keyboards, so we will also have drums and guitar, as well as Rhian, to accompany us. We will include items such as Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’, ‘He Ain’t heavy, He’s My Brother’ and a version of Joe Cocker’s ‘You Are So Beautiful’ incorporating ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’, with a few others as well.
