Sing for Water Concert & Ceilidh Rhos On Sea 🌊!

A fantastc afternoon and evening of singing 🎶 and dancing. The afternoon concert saw performances from Conwy Valley Voices, Bangor Street Singers, Threnody and Bangor Community Choir joining Coastal Voices. The finale saw 90 singers join together for a roof raising three songs. In the evening local ceilidh band Aderyn Prin got things swinging! A delightful way to celebrate 15 years of singing together included the choir presenting Sara with a specially commissioned glass wave by Sarah Kearsley-Wooller encapsulating all the elements of Coastal Voices!! Thanks to everyone who supported the event, helped on the day… 😀

Summer Fun, choir Stylie! 2018

Well it’s been a fantastic summer of singing, with Bodnant Gardens, a wedding and Powis Castle before we broke up. Then a huge thanks to Sarah for hosting a choir BBQ and sing, not to mention a singing picnic and walk on Anglesey. Loads of choir fun all round, in beautiful places with lovely people!!

Small Churches Perambulation April 28th 2018

A splendid day on Anglesey with members of Coastal Voices and Bangor Community Choir. We visited four of the lovely small churches and spent time exploring and of course singing in each. So special to fill these ancient buildings with song!

Beautiful window at St Padrig’s Cemaes

Christmas Sing at Bodelwyddan Castle

A splendid afternoon’s singing at Bodelwyddan Castle, super and receptive audience. Thanks to Castle staff for looking after us very well too. Tea and mince pies went down a treat. Excited to hear how much money we made for WaterAid!

Singing in the Sculpture room fantastic acoustics!

MS Fundraiser Llandudno

A superb evening supporting aMaSing, Gwynedd and Môn’s MS Choir. Also there were Bangor Community Choir, Gwaenysgor Choir, Shades of Harmony, the Shoreline Skiffle Band and Threnody. A fantastic heart-warming evening and an interval full of cake!!

Concert Finale with around 70 singers joining for a glorious final sing together!

Small Churches Trip Ynys Mon

Well what an absolutely super day visiting just four of the many small churches on Anglesey.The day started at St Maelog’s at Llanfaelog, beautifully and thoughtfully restored using local architect and crafts’ people. Here we learnt a couple of new songs to sing as we journeyed. So exciting to visit St Cwyfan’s nr Aberffraw, getting the tides right is vital so the causeway is dry! It’s usually locked, so delightful to see it open and to sing inside! After a delicious lunch at the Crown in Aberffraw we headed on to St Ceinwen’s in Dwyran, another treat, before our final church of the day, St Tysilio’s at Menai Bridge. Just perfect!! Thanks to everyone who came along and special thanks to Annie, Vicky and Jeremy for their help with organising and planning the trip. Can’t wait for the next one!!
