We did not have any concerts in January, so took the opportunity to have some additional rehearsals to start learning new pieces for our annual in June. The new items are an arrangement by Alwyn Humphries of ‘What Would I Do Without My Music’ and the amazingly powerful ‘Prayer’ from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner – one for the bass section to enjoy! The music team has also been working on an arrangement of ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’ and we will also be learning a modern arrangement of the hymn tune ‘Rhys’. A lot of work to be done!

We were sad to learn that Ken Hutin passed away on January 10th. Ken was a stalwart of the choir for many years prior to leaving through ill health some time ago. We were pleased to sing at his funeral at Capel-y-Crwys, Three Crosses.
