Tenovus Cancer Care Lovelight Concert

This is the second year I have attended the Tenovus Cancer Care Lovelight Concert and it was as fabulous and as poignant as ever.

Sing with Us Swansea were established in April 2012 and now have over 90 members. The idea is that the Sing with Us choirs are fun, uplifting and friendly, and are open to anyone affected by cancer whether they are a patient, survivor, carer or someone who has been bereaved through cancer.

They were supported by the Phoenix Choir of Wales, a modern Male Voice Choir based in Swansea, who sing popular music alongside the more traditional Male Voice Choir repertoire.

In addition we also heard the fantastic Angelicus Celtis, and the Hywel Girls Choir and Hywel Boy Singers. 

A feature of these concerts is the candlelight vigil, when the lights are dimmed and we hold lighted candles and think about loved ones we have lost through cancer. Yesterday was the 19th anniversary of my father's death so the vigil was particularly poignant for me.
