Phil Lloyd, choir secretary and compere for the evening, noted that there were in the audience representatives from all over Britain and also from Canada, Australia and Europe.
Welcomed to the church by Mrs. Kay Apps, the choir sang a variety of choral pieces varying from music from stage musicals to traditional Welsh items.
Conducted by David Gwynn and accompanied by Chris Lloyd, assisted by Alyson Griffiths, the choir opened with the Welsh 'Gwahoddiad', followed by 'When I fall in Love', 'Amen' and 'This Little Light of Mine'. Henry Johnston, tenor, then sang 'Love Changes Everything' and 'Pantafedwyn' which set the tone for the choir's next four pieces, 'Pan Fo'r Nos yn Hir', 'Old Time Religion', 'When the Saints Go Marching In' and 'She', each of which received loud applause.
Further solo items were given by Joan Lewis, soprano, who sang 'Rock of Ages' in a beautifully modulated manner, and was followed by an equally appealing appearance by Alyson Griffiths, who played Handel's 'Bouree' on the flute.
Finally, a duet 'Oh Divine Redeemer' by Chris Lloyd, alto, and Joan Lewis, soprano, set the mood for the choir's last four numbers, 'The Old Rugged Cross', 'American Trilogy' 'Nessun Dorma' and 'Morte Criste.'
To rapturous applause the choir sang as an encore, the Welsh hymn 'Rachie.'
The Rev. Nanette Lewis Head, minister of St. Johns, thanked the choir for a tremendous evening of music and commended them on all the willing appearances they make for charity, not only at St. Johns, but throughout the county and indeed further afield.
