It is with very great sadness that we have to report the passing of Thomas George Bowen – ‘George’.  He was one of our Choristers and passed away peacefully in his sleep, after a long illness, on the 21st October 2021.
  George joined the choir in March 2007 and served as a reliable and conscientious chorister until the Coronavirus pandemic closed the choir down in February 2019.  He had a lovely baritone voice and seldom missed a rehearsal, concert, wedding or concert tour.  Towards the end of his time with the choir he would sing from his wheel chair as he could no longer stand or walk.

George will always be remembered for his entertaining stories about his time in the Royal Navy and the Police Force and for his deep booming laugh.  He will be greatly missed by all his friends in the Gwalia Singers.
