A chilly morning in February found is in St Tysilio’s Church, Church Island Menai Bridge. The church has no electricity and the candles in the candelabras had been lit… just magical. With our fellow singers from Bangor Choir we filled the tiny church with ourselves and our singing. Making our way up to St Mary’s church there was more singing before a celebratory lunch and magnificent views of the Menai Straits, from Dylan’s thanks to the team there who made up so welcome and enjoyed our singing!!

In March we were able to visit Penrhyn Castle and sing in the two storey high Great Hall. The National Trust team were excellent and really looked after us.

In May were were delighted to support Bangor Choir’s 25th Anniversary Food bank Fundraiser in Bangor Cathedral. Bangor Choir has fledged other singers, performers and choirs over the years, so it was a pleasure to join Y Boncathod, Threnody and Hopewell Ink! The afternoon concert was just lovely and raised £1130.00 for the Food bank. As always tea and cake just go hand in hand with singing :).

To end the summer term Bodnant Gardens couldn’t be missed. It was a scorcher with ridiculous humidity, so we dodged from patch of shade to patch of shade!

How does a choir celebrate? Why by singing more of course! And perhaps eating too 🙂 to combine these our first 20th Anniversary Celebrations took us to St Asaph Cathedral, an acoustic delight, where we sang a lot of songs, enjoying the different areas and varying acoustics.

This was followed by a delightful lunch at the Bod Erw, together with exciting birthday cake, thank you Sarah L (& Dinah)!

In May we celebrated witha WaterAid fundraiser to the tune of £1362.00… Singing, with lashings of tea and cake, all proceeds going to WaterAid. Thanks to everyone who support the event and all choir members for their voices and extreme generosity. Special mention to Ian W!

In June ’24 we were delighted to return to Bodnant Gardens in the Conwy Valley, it just never disappoints!

We had hoped to sing in the Great hall at Penrhyn Castle at Christmas, but a red warning by Storm Darragh put a stop to that, hopefully next year. We made up for it though in the Amnesty Xmas Sing in Llandudno’s Victoria Centre.
