Sunday, 16th July, 2023 saw an unusual and hugely successful evening in the little village of Llanarthney, where we had been invited to sing on behalf of the Prostate Cancer charity and respond to the request of the family of our talismanic accompanist Rhian.
We opened with four Welsh language songs – a natural hit around here – then had solos from Musical Director Matthew and young star tenor Dan Davies, who had the audience’s heart strings plucked with ‘Bring Him Home’. That audience was warmly enthusiastic throughout the choir’s performance as the choir contrasted rousing numbers with tender and soulful melodies.
The second half continued to arouse a great response and another solo from Dan was answered by a talented and amusing lady under the name of ‘Nia Drws Nesaf’, a local favourite.
The final session concluded with a spontaneous standing ovation, which rounded off a wonderful evening for all, the choir then generously entertained in this charming venue. It was a very happy evening, and one which we all hope may be repeated in the future. Diolch yn fawr, Llanarthney!
