Colwyn Male Voice Choir

Choir reaps success at international eisteddfod

COLWYN Male Voice Choir gained further international success recently when the choir was awarded third lace in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in the male choir category. Competition was close between choirs with Cor Rhosllannerchrugog (winners), Cor Undebol ar ol tri and Colwyn.

Singing in front of an international audience of thousands and three adjudicators, Colwyn’s success followed on from their two wins at the Pan Celtic Festival in Derry in April 2015.

Before going on stage at Llangollen, Colwyn Male Voice choir met Eisteddfod President Terry Waite.

After competing, the choir enjoyed singing to the audience in the arena before greeting international Welsh tenor Rhys Meirion and his fellow artists.

Cor Meibion Colwyn has competed at the National Eisteddfod of Wales in Meifod Mid Wales and they have accepted an invitation to sing at the North American Welsh festival and Cymanfa Ganu in Calgary and a concert in Vancouver.

The choir of voices welcomes new and experienced singers to join them, especially in the 2nd bass section.

The choir rehearses at the Community Centre, Greenhill, Old Colwyn (just behind the Plough Inn) on Wednesdays and Sundays.
