Autumn Leaves
From ‘The Libretto’ – May 2010 I’ve produced a DVD called ‘Autumn Leaves’ as a follow-up to the ‘Four Songs’ one, which has now raised £100 for the Choir. The ‘Autumn Leaves’ DVD contains nearly 300 photos of Caldicot, Tintern and the Wye Valley as far as Monmouth taken last October and November. These are…
Read MoreCountry & Western Night
From ‘The Libretto’ – May 2010 A great time was had at the Country & Werstern night. The night was made even better as most people dressed in western clothes. The music was brilliant and even if you didn’t like Country & Western music you could not help but get up and line dance. On…
Read MoreLOVIN’ IT! (Raffle Tickets)
From ‘The Libretto’ – May 2010 LOVIN’ IT! When I joined this choir about 18 months ago, little did I realise that not only would I learn new skills in how to warble or croak my way through Tydi y Roddaist in sort of harmony with the rest of you, meet a great bunch…
Read More47th Annual Concert
From ‘The Libretto’ – April 2010 After the glowing response from Siân and the general feeling from around and about I decided to ask two paying members of the audience what they thought of the concert. I told them to say it as it is and not pull any punches. Presentation: Both commented how the…
Read MoreRecording Sessions
From ‘The Libretto’ – April 2010 After the accomplishments of the annual concert I would expect to see the same number of choristers at both recording sessions. As with most concerts the larger the choir! The better the sound! So it is so important to have a large choir. The music chosen for the CD…
Read MoreConcert: Faringdon 2010
From ‘The Libretto’ – April 2010 Overall, I thought the concert went very well on Saturday night. It was a difficult venue to perform in due to the layout of the church and the location of the piano for the choir. The choir was very squashed into a small space and the rows were not…

From ‘The Libretto’ – April 2010 A brilliant four days of golfing was enjoyed by all that went. A big thank you to Dave Gould for organising the event. T. Shepherd won the overall tournament. Dave Scott had to leave early due to Ellen being taken into hospital. On behalf of everyone in the choir…

From ‘The Libretto’ – April 2010 A big thank you to all of you that supported the race night. Once again it was a great success and well organised by Richard Evans. A massive thank you to Richard for the night and all the effort he puts in to it, not only the race night…
Read MoreConcert: Annual 2010
From ‘The Libretto’ – March 2010 Date: 6th March 2010 Choir number: 70 I can honestly say that I think this was the best Annual Concert I have ever conducted. The singing was superb and the diction excellent. It was obvious that many choristers had put in the extra work at home learning the Italian…
