My first engagement as Lord Mayor saw us return to Tabernacle in Morriston for the 36th Annual Concert of the Morriston RFC Male Choir.
The event was well attended with the choir being supported by Trystan Llŷr Griffiths and Iona Jones. Between them and Claire Holt on violin, they produced an outstanding two and a half hours of music and received a deserved standing ovation.
As their website says, Morriston Rugby Club Male Voice Choir is one of the youngest premier Welsh Male Choirs, with a hard-earned reputation for a very high standard of performance. The Choir was formed in 1979 by twelve members of Morriston Rugby Club with the intention of forming a small social ensemble to sing while hosted by various rugby clubs after attending rugby internationals. It soon developed into a fundraising choir, entertaining in small venues for local charities and residential homes.
This means that 2019 is the 40th anniversary of the choir and I look forward to the concert to commemorate that event in October.
