On Sunday the 6th March the Gwalia Singers performed their first concert of the year at Mumbles Rugby club.  This was a concert to celebrate St David’s Day and was the first event for our new conductor, Matthew Sims. We also a welcomed the return of our accompanist Rhian Stone. The concert was a resounding success as the choir performed to a capacity crowd, singing some traditional Welsh items, together with items from our repertoire. It was a wonderful afternoon crowned by a final standing ovation.  We had a collection for the ‘Ukraine Appeal Fund’ which was generously supported and raised £350.  Our thanks go to Mumbles Rugby Club and their Chairman Simon Evans for their invitation and hospitality. We hope to make this an annual event in the future.  

At our rehearsals we are learning a new version of “Calon Lan” by John Hughes and arranged by Jeffery Howard.  We are looking forward to learning “To Where You Are”, arranged by Alwyn Humphreys with Words and Music by Richard Marx & Linda Thompson.
