Moreover, Sam and his mother, Nia, shared the conducting and accompanying duties.

In addition, the concert raised over £2,400.00 toward Wullinkamma Arribaja Clinic. You can read the full blog of the concert here Charity Concert Raises Vital Funds.

A big thank you to the Trefnant Village Hall Management Committee for the kind invitation to assist you.
Light Up A Life Service
St Dyfnog’s Church in Llanrhaeadr was the venue for the choir to take part in a ‘Light Up A Life’ service n 8th December 2022.
Again, another appearance to raise funds for a very good cause. This time for the local St Kentigerns Hospice.
The choir performed a number of pieces of music, in addition to leading the congregational singing of carols.
The congregation took the opportunity to light candles in memory of loved ones lost. Always a moving and cherished moment.
We are pleased to have assisted in raising over £560 for St Kentigerns Hospice on the night.
Successful Year Review
Following the Covid pandemic it was good to be back entertaining audiences once again.
2022 was a successful year in which we assisted different charitable causes to raise much needed funds.
End of year Fundraising
On the afternoon of 10th December 2022, the choir performed at Tweedmill Shopping Outlet.
With the emphasis on fun and enjoyment, the choir entertained both customers and staff. A mixture of Carols, Christmas Songs and items from our concert repertoire were sure winners.
Even the staff admitted that they had been dancing and joining in the singing!!
A further fundraising performance took place at the ASDA Store in Kinmel Bay on 21st December.
