We love singing
We’ve had a great start to the year, singing at the Gymanfa Ganu at St Paul’s Cathedral on 1st March. We sang two songs on our own – Y Darlun and Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring in Welsh. Check out the performance (and the other choirs who were there). https://www.youtube.com/live/In-Aq4umn8E?si=PTHXQuqapWzFmXrm

New Zealand Tour 2018
The choir travelled to the North Island for its third New Zealand tour in October 2018.
The choir’s tour started in New Plymouth with an evening performance with the Taranaki Male Choir, “Why We Sing” at the Plymouth International Hotel. It was a fantastic evening of entertainment with performances by acapella group “Four Flat Whites”. On the same day the choir was very excited to be officially welcomed at the New Plymouth Council for the Cymanfa Ganu, where they were greeted with a wonderful mayoral reception, including a traditional Maori welcome.
The choir was invited to take part in the 14th National Cymanfa Ganu which was held at St Andrews Presbyterian Church, New Plymouth presented by the Welsh people of Taranaki and conducted by Welsh conductor Dilwyn Price. The choir’s last performance was with the Oriana singers at the Tauranga boys college.
The choir took time out during the tour to visit a number of beautiful sights on the North Island, including Hamilton Gardens, Pukekara Gardens, taking part in World Singing Day in Plymouth, a trip into the Waitomo caves and a fun trip on the Goldfields Railway from Waihi to Waikino, as well as sight-seeing around each of the places we sang.
The choir was privileged to reconnect with special friends that had been made during previous tours and to make new friends in singing which we hope to meet up with again in the future.
2014 New Zealand Tour
The choir toured New Zealand in October of 2014 and performed in Wellington, Palmerston North or Napier, New Plymouth and then participated as the guest choir at the Bi-annual Cymnafa Ganu, hosted by the Welsh community of Rotorua.
