Our performances for July were centred around one very busy weekend. Firstly, on Friday 10fed we sang at the funeral of Paul Smith, our chairman, at All Saints in Oystermouth. This was obviously a very sombre occasion for all, and we sang Faure’s ‘Cantique de Jean Racine’, which was one of Paul’s favourite pieces.
That evening we sang at St Hilarys, Killay to raise money for church funds. We were joined by a number of young church members who sang musical hits from the shows. The evening was very well compered by Rev. Tim Williams, whose son was one of the soloists.
The next day, at lunch time, we sang at the wedding of Lee and Sarah Davies at St Peters in Newton. This meant that we performed at 3 different venues and for 3 unrelated causes. Is this a record? Our musical director, Nick, was very pleased with the commitment of the choir over this weekend, as at each venue there were over 36 voices. A tremendous achievement.
