We had another busy weekend at the beginning of May. On Friday 11th we sang at St Hilarys, Killay. The church was full and joining us for the evening was Jonathan Lycett, who was accompanied by John Davies. We sang ‘Hiraeth’ arranged by Alwyn Humphries and ‘America’ from West Side Story which has been arranged by Les Ryan, both of which were performed for the first time at this concert, and both went well. The evening was humorously compered by Fr Tim Williams, vicar of St Hilarys. Following the concert we called at the Commercial, Killay and once again Gareth very kindly put on food for us.
On Sunday 13th we sang at Pennard Village Hall, for a fundraising concert for Christian Aid. Joining us on this occasion was Reuben Nicholas, who has featured on a programme about young Welsh tenors on BBC Wales with Tim Rhys Evans. This was an afternoon concert and was well attended by a very appreciative audience. The concert was organised by Clive Rees, who also acted as compere.
We were pleased to welcome another new member to the choir. Nigel Norman passed the audition and became a member of the 1st tenor section. Congratulations to him.
Our CD, ‘A New Dawn’, was finally released. Please see the Recordings page for further details.
