In early May a large contingent of choristers and their supporters journeyed to Cornwall to participate in the Cornwall International Male Choir festival.
Based in Cambourne for a long weekend,the choir participated with a number of other choirs in Penzance and Mevagissey.
The main focus of the weekend was to compete against other choirs from around the UK at the impressive Truro Cathedral.This was the first time that the choir had competed in a serious competition for many years and were delighted to finish in fourth position,a mere 4 points behind the eventual winners,The Bath Male Voice Choir.

We were honoured to be one of only four choirs who were invited to sing at the final Gala Concert in the Cathedral to close the festival and were delighted to receive standing ovations from the capacity audience.
The choir were thrilled to be asked to entertain the crowd and lead the singing of the national anthems at the recent rugby international between Wales and Italy at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
The attached video gives a great impression of our unforgettable day.
The choir’s annual St David’s Day Concert was performed to a capacity audience at Holy Cross Church on 28th February.
The audience were treated to a selection of songs from thr choir’s current repertoire including many traditional and more modern songs sung in Welsh.
The choir were pleased to welcome the very talented young harpist,Heledd Wyn Newton,whose vituoso performance was very well received by the audience.
The choir’s own Scott Williams completed the line up playing a beautiful rendition on the church organ.
The evenings entertainment was hosted by Chairman John Wilks and the music team of accompanist Sandra Williams and Musical Director Rhiannon Williams.

2025 was an outstanding year for the choir and we look forward to continued success in 2026.
Here are some photographs showing some of the memorable moments.
The choir had a busy month of concerts supporting various charities and good causes and helped to raise nearly £15000 in total.
One of the largest contingents of the choir in recent months turned out for an emotional concert at Y Pant school in Pontyclun to honour the memory of Glyn Jones,a founder member of the choir, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
The choir was joined by the ladies of Taff Ely Ladies choir who charmed the audience with their singing.
Tributes to Glyn were given by his daughter and by choir Chairman Jon Wilks.
Proceeds from the evening were donated to the Alzheimers Society.
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.
