The Choir performed another mini-concert at Loxley Park Care Home to entertain the residents and staff. We sang a number of pieces from our current repertoire - these are currently being polished ready for our participation in the Welsh Association concert at the Royal Albert Hall in April in the first half. After a short break, we sang another couple of pieces from the Albert Hall repertoire, and then finished with a communal sing-along of well known songs (We'll meet again to name but one). We have been invited back again, so they must have enjoyed it.

The MD for the event, Alwyn Humphries took us through the pieces, starting with the remaining 6 pieces not covered by the previous 2 rehearsals, and then running through the remaining 12 pieces that we have been rehearsing for some time. The rehearsal went well, and we now begin to polish the pieces ready for the concert next month.
