Swansea Bay Singleton Singers 10th Annual concert

Tonight was another one of the many concerts that the Lord Mayor and his Deputy are invited to and as usual, it was entertaining, enjoyable and performed to a very high standard.

The Swansea Bay Singleton Singers were formed in 1985 and in its early days consisted of female employees of the City's Singleton Hospital. Membership is now open to everyone and the group currently have 52 choristers on their books.

The choir continues to make annual donations to Singleton Hospital and over the years has donated in excess of £26,000. In 2017, the choir raised £500 for ward 7 and the money was used to buy televisions and DVD players. Earlier this year another £500 was given to help pay towards improving patients' experience within the outpatient's department and to purchase bladder scanners.

The concert also featured Ryan Alexander, a musical theatre soloist from Canada, who has recently completed his Masters in Musical Theatre Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and a 15-year-old violin soloist from Pontarddulais, Will Mullins.

It was a very entertaining evening featuring a wide choice of music and styles to a sell-out audience, all of whom appreciated the musical tour de force they were treated to. Definitely worth attending the eleventh annual concert next year.
