Really looking forward to hearing you sing in The Bell at Winslow following the concert in the Church. Sadly, tickets sold out without even knowing they were on sale!! That's popularity!!! Ha ha! Happy to take the next best thing. Your voices are just amazing, and so moving. Best wishes to you all and Merry Christmas. Neville
We and 2 friends visiting from Yorkshire really enjoyed your performance at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre on Sat 8th Oct.Thank you for supporting the Aberystwyth branch of The British Heart Foundation.

wonderful concert at bishopston school on Sat 24th, the tribute to the fallen miners was very moving and so apt, a couple had come from Belguim especially to listen to the choir and were moved to tears.
Thank you to the Bois y Bont who made it to Wootton Wawen today to say farewell to Mum, it was lovely to see you there, Mum would have been pleased.xxxxx
Just wanted to wish you all the best in the competition, watching you this evening. A special message for Gwynne Price who was a lecturer in the Special Needs Unit of Ty Coch College when my daughter Meryl was a student. You were brilliant with the students, and she still talks about her time on the Lord Nelson when you accompanied her and Alex,, and the happy times she had at the college. All the very best Gwynne, you still look exactly the same!!
Thanks a lot for raising the roof, again, on Saturday 21st May 2011, at St. Botolph's Church, Boston. All photo's taken on the night are being officaially processed and will be on there way to you promtly!! Once again, Congratulations!!! :)
Thank you for a marvellous concert on Saturday in Boston Stump. It was a wonderful moving evening and great to have you back with us. Many thanks.

Looking forward to your return visit to St. Botolph's (Boston Stump) Lincolnshire. The last concert exceeded all expectations and Im sure this one will do the same. Makes me proud to be Welsh.
My grand father, Jack/John Murphy, was a member of your choir many years ago. Sadly he was taken away from us by Cancer and I never had the chance to really get to know him.
However I have a photo of him with your choir, also I enjoy nothing more than sitting back and listening to - Roger Walters album Radio Chaos. I feel you should put that on your wall of achievement as it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.

Gentlemen, it was an absolute pleasure as always to sing with you once again in Winslow. As usual your voices were all on great form and the concert wasn't bad either! :) Thank you also to the wonderful Rhiannon for her fantastic, supportive playing. Merry Christmas to one and all, until the next time...

went to the Lincoln concert. great evening thankyou. Really enjoyed the concert but the second concert in the pub afterwards was even better (must have been the lubrication!!)
We greatly enjoyed the concert at Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday. Such a mellifluous and accomplished performance, and we appreciated joining in the Welsh National Anthem. A real British experience!

Many Congratulations on your awards and achievements you have been awarded.
Many Congratulatios over the many friends you have made.
Fond memories of Noel, and every best wish to Clive and you all for the next 50 years.
Thank you for coming to Guildford Cathedral last Saturday night. You have helped me fulfil one of my life's dreams - always wanted to listen to a Welsh male choir live. The CD's are just not quite the same! I hope to get the chance to hear you again soon.
Thank you so much for making the trip to Guildford - what a fantastic evening, enhanced by the beautiful singing of Gary Griffiths. A brilliant evening!
Just back from Guildford Cathedral - what a fantastic concert, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening - Garry was marvellous and the choir rang out with the style, sensitivity and sound that only a wonderful Welsh male voice can (under the superb control of Clive of course). Brilliant night boys, Thank you :)
Just returned from your concert at Guildford Cathedral, absolutely brilliant!
There is nothing quite like a Welsh Male voice choir to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Thank you.
Have the diary date 2nd.October to see and hear you in Lincoln Cathedral. The date is not yet on their website. Congratulations for having it on yours.
Sunday, March 7th at 9am Spanish time. A program has been scheduled including excerpts from one of your CD's. Francis Butler will present, he was one of those presented with a brthdat present CD from Clive on Sunday night. TALK RADIO EUROPE. Hope you enjoy. Best to you all Howard.
Hi, just to say how much we enjoyed the concert in Fuengirola on Saturday 27th Feb 2010. Not only did the choir sound amazing but they also kept us entertained in the bar afterwards with their...er...welsh humour....lol We had a great time and will make an effort to see them again if they visit the costa del sol or if we get to the UK.
Feb 27th and Feb 28 2010, the most excellent sounds of Welsh Male choir resounded through the streets of Fuengirola, Southern Spain. What a choir, what a wonderful crowd of men (plus Rhiannon of course!) Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their excellent repertoire and are impatient for a further visit. I bought 3 cd's to take on holiday, cant wait to listen. HJ
What a fantastic evening in Fuengirola last night, Sunday 28th Feb. The concert was amazing but the singing afterwards in the bar was out of this world. It was a priveledge to be there to listen to you all. Many congratulations - an evening I will never forget!
Thank you to organisers and Choir for a wonderfully entertaining concert in Fuengirola on saturday evening. Your singing was superb and so was the accompaniament. We can thoroughly reccomend the CD's too.
It would be great to see you at a venue in Mid Wales in the future.
Enjoy your stay in Spain. Cyfarchion ar Ddydd Gwyl Dewi
Myself and five girlfriends attended your concert at salon varieties Fuengirola spain on sunday 28th March,thankyou so much for such an enjoyable evening,hope you will be back next year.
Best wishes to you all
Jean gomez @ friends
Sorry folks, senior moment, I meant to also compliment your pianist Rhiannon, not only did she play well but also sang all the items and followed them on her sheet music.
She was also the best looking chorister,
liked the dress too.
Best regards
Gethin.
Hi Folks,
We have just arrived home after a great concert in Fuengirola. We really enjoyed the concert and esppecialy the great Glee Club session afterwards, a bit better than Wales as you preformed well in both halves
Thank you all for my birthday C D although I do not get a birthday this year. The web address on the bag helped me find you.
We will see you all again later today for lunch.
Jan & Gethin.
PS.
To those of you left in Wales, do not let the tourists kid you that the weather was good, this has been the wettest winter on record. It even meant that we had to stay in the bar after the concert to avoid the rain, what a bu@@er.
attended a concert last night in the Brangwyn Hall with Diane Davies and absolutely entralled with the standard of singing and the whole evening.Have not enjoyed anything quite like this for many years and so glad to have been able to experience the sound and control of the choir.Well done everyone!!!!!
Singing Optician Bottom Bass 1968/71Still in contact with John Mehegan and still singing! Daughter now lives in Blackmill Bridgend so look out for a visit. Noel was an inspiration.
We both thank you very much for your warm Welsh welcome at your practise evening Wednesday 26 October.Thank you also to the very kind gentleman who drove us back to our car parked in James Street. Hope the electricians have completed their work allowing you all to return ''home'' We look forward to seeing you all in Lincoln Cathedral 2nd.October 2010
Llongyfarchiadau ar y dudalen we. Dês i yma o broffil Wikipedia am Bontarddulais. Falch iawn i weld cynnwys dwyieithog hefyd! Cofion cynnes nôl i'r Bont.
Visited the practise room as a guest of Terry Hale. It was great to see and hear Mr Curwen's solfa in use particularly as so few choirs use this very effective learning tool today

Raised in Cannock, Staffs and introduced to Welsh choral singing as a young church chorister, this love of Welsh voices has continued to grow in me. Emigrating to NZ in 1965, I was lucky enough to be a founder member of the Auckland Welsh Choir, and then a group of eight formed '' Seland Newydd Singers'' singing at private functions etc. I have a large collection of CDs recorded by Welsh choirs, among them many contributions by Pontarddulais MC. You, as a choir, have a wonderful sound, a marvellous repertoire..Please continue to entertain, invoking Hiraeth.. Tony Watson, English by birth, Welsh by inclination.. Thank you..
An Ex Waunarlwydd man living in Norway for the past 37 years I was given your website by Mr Emyr Daniel who I had the pleasure of meeting in Llandybie and here in Norway. I once sang in Norways second oldest choir , that's how Emyr and I met.
We are delighted to announce the arrival of Sofia Ramos who was born at 11.26pm on Friday 19th June weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce. Mum and Baby doing well Dad still up in the clouds.
We only saw you last Wednesday and you demonstrated your power over us agian with your magificent singing prowess. Many mermories of Swansea came flooding back as you preformed your traing pieces for the concert. to come. Your welcome was warm and we my dad and me were taken with your collective harmony and rythum. We hope to become Patrons, but could you give me some more information about life patrons. Thankyou again. Tim and Gordon Akers
Thank you to everyone who gave money for my Race for Life. Greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to the next concert,

Whilst in Weston Super Mare last weekend with the City of Chester Male Voice Choir, where we did a joint concert with the Cheddar MVC, I visited the town centre. Whilst there my wife and I came across a CD/Video sale by the Winter Gardens. Yes, you have guessed right, we came across your CD ''Welsh Male Voices sing Gerswin''. What a wonderful CD it is. My wife is a Hospital Radio DJ and she is going to do a feature of your choir this Tues and play the CD. Keep up the good work, and we both hope to hear your Choir in person some time. Kind Regards Eric (Longworth). P.S. you have an excellent web site.
Thanks for the excellent sound you give. I have a cd with a song called Diolch I'r Ior can you please give if possible the origin of this song and is it possible that the song has been recorded in English.
Once the sound you produce makes me proud to be Welsh.... Thank you
