On Friday May 3rd we were the guest choir for the first annual concert of the Swansea Tenovus ‘Sing With Us’ choir. This choir comprises singers who are suffering from cancer or whose immediate family have been affected by the condition. Under their energetic and inspirational musical director, Shoshana Pavett, they thoroughly entertained the audience with a number of upbeat songs, including ‘Walking On Sunshine’ and ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’. They ended the concert with a song that has become synonymous with the choir, ‘Lean On Me’, a very emotional performance. We were also joined by the wonderful Bishopston Primary School Choir and pianist Joshua Stokes. We were pleased to hear that over £1000 was raised from the concert and, once again, we donated our entire fee to the charity.

We gave a concert on Saturday May 25th at All Saints Church, Kilvey. This was in aid of church funds and we were able to sing our entire programme for the forthcoming annual concert. This included 2 new items to our repertoire, ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’ arranged by our own musical team, and ‘Rhys’, a Welsh hymn tune arranged by E R Harry.
We were also joined by Ashley Rogers, a member of CATS based in Pontardawe, who sang a number of songs from the shows. The evening was introduced by Rev Andrew Meredith and we were given some wonderful refreshments at half time. Many thanks to our president, Geoff Wheel, for organising the concert.
