We had a very busy period with 4 performances in 7 days from 4^th to 10^th. Our first performance was at a Christmas lunch at Swansea University organised by the Catering Department for staff and the general public. We sang a mixture of Christmas songs and items from our normal repertoire, and enjoyed a post performance buffet, again provided by the Catering Department. Thanks to one of our 1^st basses and Catering Manager for the University, Les Carmichael, for organising the event and ‘finding’ a rather scrumptious sherry trifle to finish off the buffet! The next day we sang at the wedding of Holly Williams, the step-daughter of another of our 1^st basses John Davies. This took place at the Manor Park, Clydach.

Tuesday 8^th saw us singing at our annual Christmas Concert, organised by the Ladies committee. Again we sang a mixture of items and included a new item to our Christmas repertoire, ‘˜The Infant King’. We also sang Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’ with Rhian playing the piano and Steve playing a string and bass accompaniment on the keyboard. This proved very effective. We raised £300 for Young Carers in Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot, and the evening ended with the usual carol singing enjoyed by all.

The following Thursday we sang at the Vivian Hall in Blackpill. This is another of our ‘annual’ events at Christmas. The hall was packed as usual and again we sang a mixture of items.

The commitment of the singers over this busy time was exceptional with an average of 40 voices at each performance. This was very pleasing for our musical team, as much hard work was put in during the previous month to prepare for these events.
