Well Done Lyn
From ‘The Libretto’ – June 2010 I would like to say a big thank you to Lyn Gauntlett for the efforts he has made to raise money for the choir. Lyn has been selling his DVD of the choir and has given all profits made to the choir. The ‘Autumn Leaves’ DVD has so far…

From ‘The Libretto’ – June 2010 What a fantastic night we had at the VE Night. It was well supported and well done to the Fund Raising Committee for the work they did on decorating the hall. What a difference it was with the crowd we had and everyone entering the spirit of the night…

From ‘The Libretto’ – May 2010 Nine Choristers and two friends made the trip down to Okehampton on the 22nd of March for a four day golfing break.

Read MoreConcert: Crickhowell 2010
From ‘The Libretto’ – May 2010 Date: 24th April – Choir number: 56 I thought the choir gave an excellent concert, many pieces were very well sung especially ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘The Rhythm of Life’, in particular.

Read MoreAutumn 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…

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…
