So, it was now back to rehearsals and the build up to our Christmas Concert season, with a few minor appearances to keep the variety going. Our first seasonal concert was held on the 10th December at St Hillery’s Church in Killay where we received a very warm welcome.  

One of our consistently successful venues is All Saints Church, Oystermouth, with a good seating capacity and lovely acoustics.  Thus, our annual concert for Maggies was held on the 15th December, also featuring the Pontardulais Brass Band, was the biggest event of the season and once again hugely popular. The Ladies’ section once again organised their annual concert at the Scout HQ on the 13th December and this was another success.  A Christmas Concert that always receives a really great reception is at the Vivian Hall, Blackpill, on the 19th December where we have trouble fitting in the choir and the audience.  Somehow, they managed to get us all in and the crowd, including the Lord Mayor Mike Day and his good lady, gave us a very warm response.  

We’ve also been learning the basic principles of singing, at a Singing Workshop held on the 21st January.  Our guest for the day was Jeffrey Howard who delivered a thought provoking session for the choristers.
