Like Many choirs throughout the country WMVC cannot sustain it's finances through singing alone, so from time to time it looks towards mixing fundraising with a good old social night!

These take many different forms, below is a little of what they're all about.

The choir began the spring season by performing in a concert at Bradfield Church to help raise money for the Church Organ fund.  We sang 14 of the pieces performed at the Welsh Association concert last month (2 in Welsh - Gwahoddiad and the first solo outing of 'Y Tangnefeddwyr').  The Church Organist, Mr Roy Chamberlin, provided the rest of the evening's entertainment, playing 8 pieces of Organ music.  We concluded our singing with the ever popular "Medley from Les Miserables", before the concert finished with the communal singing of "Cwm Rhondda".
