As the famous Swansea Rugby Club (The All Whites) celebrated 150 years of playing, they chose the famed new Arena for a spectacular dinner and event with many famous names both attending and providing the entertainment on such a special occasion. Thus, it was a matter of some pride that The Gwalia Singers male voice choir was invited to open the proceedings.
We started by singing in the concourse, where guests were arriving and it was, for many of us, an opportunity to spot some star names of past and present in appropriate evening dress. We then switched over to the stage where, after a little delay, we had the crowd’s undivided attention as we sang Cwm Rhondda to enthusiastic applause and then led the congregation in the National Anthem.
This was an honour fitting the growing popularity of our choir and our numbers approaching 60 on stage reflected the status we have been earning as the top of the range in the region. We now look forward with great enthusiasm to our Annual Concert at All Saints Church in Mumbles on the 17fed June. It will be a great night!
