Caernarvon vs
Swindon
!
Every Choir in
Wales
argues that it is the best, and The Caernarfon Male Voice Choir is no
different. But if you challenge the opinion of the Choir, they have a
strong argument – they will remind you that they have won the cup in
three National Eisteddfods back to back between 1994 and 1996, and
have won seven times in all in the National Eisteddfod.
From North Wales, the Caernarfon
Choir was formed at the town’s Ferodo Factory in 1967 – 40 years
ago, however the connection with the factory has since come to an end.
The members now consist of mechanics, policemen, accountants, local
government officials, farmers, teachers, craftsmen, and a number that
have retired, all of whom enjoy competing and performing concerts, by
practicing hard on Tuesday nights within a stone's throw of the town's
ancient castle.
So against this backdrop of
excellence, enjoyment and pleasure gained from Choral singing, it is
exciting that this choir is coming to Swindon to present a concert of
the very best music with
Swindon
Male Voice Choir.
Saturday 8th March 2008
at 7.00pm the choirs will meet at
Christ
Church
,
Old
Town
,
Swindon
. The 40 year old
‘young’ choir from Caernarfon meeting the almost 90 year old choir
from
Swindon
!! This promises to be a
most enjoyable concert in one of
Swindon
finest church venues for such a concert. The music spans all types and
styles with traditional male choir ‘favourites’, a touch of opera,
delightful folk songs, and bright and lively numbers for modern day
musicals and shows.
Tickets are available from
Swindon

Whilst we relish the
big events we delight in
visiting local smaller venues, supporting
local groups and organisations to help their constant battle to
fund their charities and causes.
While big events are
fabulous, some of our finest choral moments and memories over 87
years have been created in village churches and halls where the
magic of the venue, with the intimacy created by a friendly audience
are truly magical. With these magical
moments the woes of the world seem to disappear – if but for a
short while.
Singing
is one of the finest relaxation and de-stressing therapies we have
found. We recommend it
to all our readers.
Further details will be added to this website
nearer the various events. If you require details of any of
these events please send your request using the email link:
