We performed at St David’s Church, Morriston on Sunday 3rd. It was a concert for the charity ‘Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline’, which raises funds so that children from Belarus can come to Britain to get away from the contamination, which is still prevalent, and have dental treatment etc. and take advantage of a clearer atmosphere. Joining us for the evening was Keely Morgan, with whom we sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ to close the concert, and Cwmrhydyceirw Primary School Choir. Over £1000 was raised during the evening and once again we did not charge for our services.
We returned to sing for the Pontardawe Senior Citizens, in their hall, on February 8th. This has been a regular place to visit for the choir over the years, but now that we have increased our numbers, we are struggling to fit on the stage! However, the small audience is always very appreciative and we have a good ‘spread’ afterwards.
On Saturday 16th we sang at the wedding of Claire Izat and Adam Knowles at All Saints, Oystermouth. Claire is the daughter of Pip George, 2nd Bass. She has left a message of thanks in the ‘guestbook’.
We visited the studios of Swansea Sound to promote the concert for Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline where Nick and Clive chatted to Leighton Jones ‘live’ on air. Apparently they should have recorded the interview so that it would be broadcast a few moments later, but Leighton decided, at the last moment, to do it ‘live’. Hopefully we will be returning to promote our annual concert at a later date. This was all organised by our new media officer, Adrian Crowley, who is being very proactive in the role.
