I am Adrian, a retired teacher who moved to Wales in 1979 with my wife. I taught for 23 years at Olchfa school. We have two children and three grandchildren. In May 2010 a chorister sold me tickets for the Gwalia Singers Annual Concert, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I decided that I would like to join the choir and became a full member of the choir the following November. I thoroughly enjoy singing, and get a buzz from performing well in concerts, weddings etc. I have made many friends from the choir who are always supportive if I need help. We do not take ourselves too seriously and there is always a lot of fun to be had. In my nearly 15 years with the choir I have visited many European countries and also Barbados, where we took part in their Celtic festival. I would recommend anyone to join the choir, just come along and give it a try, you will get lots of help and support. Singing with the Gwalia Singers is something special.

Gareth is a product of the highly successful West Glamorgan Youth Music system. After obtaining degrees in Music and Education at Cardiff University, Gareth pursued a teaching career, firstly as a violin/viola teacher and then as a Primary School teacher. Gareth taught in a number of schools across Swansea and Llanelli, before becoming a Headteacher for fifteen years concluding at Bishopston Primary, a school that gained a reputation for its strong singing, music and performance. Whilst primarily a chorister, Gareth has assisted the music team by playing violin and piano, taking a number of rehearsals and conducting a concert when required.

My name is Robert and I have been a member of Gwalia Singers for four years.l have recently been elected as chairman I live in Bishopston with my partner Julie. We have 4 children and 9 Grandchildren. I retired 14 years ago and I had it on my bucket list to join a choir and since joining the Gwalia singers I cannot emphasise how enjoyable and rewarding it has been. I cannot wait for the weekly Tuesday practice to come around. Having sang at various concerts and weddings I am now looking forward to the 60th anniversary concert in The Brangwyn Hall on 2026 I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys music and singing to come along on practice nights to witness the friendship and camaraderie within the choir.
