Ynysowen (Aberfan & District) Male Choir, Rhondda Valley, Wales: e-mail only: contact
Glyn Doolan.
As 2006 is the 40th
Anniversary of the Aberfan disaster, the choir which bears it’s name has
been busy with recordings, interviews and concerts. Our first recording
of a concert in Weston-S-Mare raised £2000 for the Children's Hospice in
that area and will be shown on television later in the year. It was very
appropriate that this concert raised so much for a Children's Hospice at
this time in the history of the Choir. The Choir has also completed a
successful weeks visit to Spain where they sang at two venues, to a
mixed Spanish and ex patriot audience. Visits were also made to various
parts of the region where, as with most choirs, informal renderings of
Male Choir repertoire were performed.
"The
Committee,
Musical Staff and Choristers of the above Choir wish to thank
everybody who posted comments about the recent television
showing of their part played in the production of the film
"After Aberfan". We have been overwhelmed by the response and we
will be continuing to play our part in the future by repaying,
in our own way (singing for charity), the massive help that was
given to the village of Aberfan at the time of the disaster. A
reply will be sent to each and everyone as soon as possible."
