Dunvant Choir 125th Anniversary Concert

One hundred and twenty five years to the day, Dunvant Male Choir returned to Ebenezer Chapel, where they were formed for a special anniversary concert this evening. It was a privilege to be a guest at this event. The choir has the record of being the longest continuous singing choir in Wales.

Tonight they were accompanied by Martin Lloyd, whose mother used to accompany the choir, and whose father sang in it, by Cadi and Mari James, twin sisters from Llanddeusant in Carmarthenshire, who are studying science subjects at Gower College Swansea, and Bethan Evans, who is studying music at Gower College Swansea and whose grandfather has sung with the choir for 30 years.

The chapel was packed for this special occasion, which is the start of a programme of events to celebrate the choir's anniversary. It was an outstanding evening of music, enjoyed by all who were present.
