St John's Church, Gowerton Festival of Christmas Music

This was an evening that lived up to its name. The church in Gowerton was packed as the audience enjoyed (and participated in) literally a feast of music.

Starting off with a reading of Dylan Thomas's 'A Child's Christmas in Wales', we then heard a couple of solos by some young, up-and-coming local artists, followed by St John's Musical Players, the Excelsior Ladies' Choir, a young Brass Ensemble, the Cancer Challenge Singers, the St John's Sunday School, the Hands Together Signing Choir, who signed a couple of carols using British Sign Language and the Morriston RFC Male Choir.

There is just so much musical talent in the Swansea area, and it seems we are discovering something new at every engagement. The two hours of this festival just flew by and left us wanting more.

This is my last official engagement before Christmas, but I look forward as to what the New Year will bring.
