On Saturday 9th we sang at a Harvest concert at St Peter’s Church, Newton. Our guest artiste on this occasion was Bronwen Beckett-Evans who recently played ‘Casilda’ in a production of the Gondoliers by Uplands Arts at the Taliesin Theatre. Bronwen sang a varied programme including ‘Show Me’ from My Fair Lady and Dvorak’s ‘Song to the Moon’. Our own Steve Wilson accompanied her on the piano. We included in our programme for the first time an original composition by Mark Burrows using the words of the famous poem by W. H. Davies called ‘Leisure’. This is another piece that we have learned to perform at St David’s Hall, Cardiff next month. The evening ended with Bronwen joining the choir for ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. All funds raised at the concert went to the new Newton Community Hall.
We had another quiz night at the Commercial Inn, Killay on Thursday 21st. This was organised by the Ladies committee in conjunction with Gareth and Nova. It was a great success and the winning team included the Chairman, Musical Director and Gareth, which some might think was a fix!! The truth is that whichever team Gareth was in would have won. We raised £200 for choir funds.
