On a sweltering evening in Cowbridge a record 75 choristers took the stage in front of a capacity audience.
After the initial set of 4 songs the choir gratefully discarded their blazers and sang a varied programme including debut performances of Adiemus and Mr Blue Sky.The concert ended with a rousing rendition of Hafan Gobaith and a standing ovation.
The evening was enhanced by our guests Cor Bryn Owain whose contributions were greatly appreciated by all.
It was with some relief that members of the choir and their guests sought liquid refreshment at the nearby Cowbridge Rugby Club.

Our thanks go to our brilliant musical team and also the dedicated band of helpers behind the scenes for helping to make a memorable evening.
