We had the privilege of being invited to Dan and Lisa’s wedding. The presence of the choir was a pure joy to experience. Music, song and laughter .. Hiraeth ! The rendition of “Myfanwy” was very poignant to us as a family as you identified.. and was much appreciated. Diolch yn fawr iawn . ..Personally Sospan Fach was the song for me!! Ann Williams
