On Thursday September 13th we sang at All Saints Oystermouth for the Mumble Festival of Music. This is a series of concerts is held annually, in September, at the church and we were delighted to take part this year. We were fortunate to be joined by Ros Evans, who is always very entertaining, We were able to sing a number of the new items that we have learnt for Germany including Wagner’s ‘Prayer from Lohengrin’ and ‘Freunde Schenket Ein’ which went down very well. We also sung Schubert’s ‘Sanctus’ from his ‘Duetsche Mass’. Another highlight of the concert was joining with Ros Evans to sing our arrangement of ‘The Holy City’. 

On Tuesday 18th we had some special visitors to our rehearsal. We are in the early stages of arranging a tour to Barbados next year to sing at their Celtic Music Festival, which is held annually. The Director of the Festival, Carol Anderson and the Acting High Commissioner for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Alphea Wiggins came to give us more details about the festival. This is a really exciting time for the choir and we are hoping that we will be able to sing at the festival. They have not had a Welsh male voice choir there since the first festival 19 years ago!
