RECENT EVENTS & IMMINENT FOTHCOMING ATTRACTIONS
In a very busy time for the Choir, Bridgend Male Choir has recently been involved in & has planned:

Choristers were delighted to have the opportunity to entertain a large crowd and mark the tremendous achievement of the Queen of the roads. Well done Nicole and good luck with the World Championships this week.

On this occasion the Choir was conducted by Haydn James of London Welsh MVC. Choristers wish John Toshack’s Welsh squad every success.
Support for Shan Cothi, Soprano and Vice President of the Bridgend Male Choir, this time on the occasion of her successful horseback ride from north to south Wales.
