As well as entertaining the public, the Newchurch Male Voice Choir had the pleasure of entertaining the donkeys in the barns at The Donkey Sanctuary with a concert to celebrate St David’s Day.
In keeping with the Welsh celebrations at the Sanctuary, the Choir included 3 traditional Welsh tunes, Gwahoddiad, Rachie and Ar Hyd Y Nos (All through the Night).
The choir’s true Welsh member, Bill Yarranton, gave a recital of Welsh songs and Cate Clark, the choirs accompanist also entertained with a selection of tunes on the piano, including a melody of Welsh tunes and iN keeping with the donkeys, Russ Conway’s ‘Sidesaddle’.
This was the first concert of the choir’s 50th anniversary year and a first at the Sanctuary.
A small audience of visitors were in attendance and there was some extra ‘voices’ coming from the donkeys.
