While Tenby was hosting last weekend's scooter festival, another group of West Midlands mods were also cruising the resort. The 'men of' definitive singing, better known as Worcester Male Voice Choir, preferred libretto over lambrettas, while their closest association with Vespers was their performance of a Latin mass. The choir's whistle - (or should that be hooter) - stop-tour opened with a memorable concert with Tenby Male Voice Choir at St. Johns Church. Joint items included 'Gwahoddiad', 'The Rhythm of Life' and 'Morte Christe', with baton duties being shared between host musical director Christine Shewry and Worcester's Barry Jones. Polished solo spots from Tenby included the reintroduced 'Thanks Be To God' conversely having an easy airing. The 40-strong Worcester Male Voice Choir impressed with such pieces as the rousing 'Nessun Dorma' and the tune you can't put down afterwards 'Yfory'. The choir was complimented on its Welsh diction in 'Yfory' and other items in Cymraeg, with similar praise coming from Whitland and District Male Voice Choir conductor Juliet Rossiter. For the Whitland Town Hall concert, 'Yfory' along with the quintessential 'Myfanwy' were amongst joint offerings during yet another memorable musical feast. Whitland were on song with such numbers as 'Shenandoah' and 'Chattanooga Choo Choo' (complete with own guard!). 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' and 'Bring Him Home' were among the half-a-dozen pieces performed with great confidence for the lunchtime recital at St. Davids Cathedral. Some 14 sacred songs were well balanced with two tracks 'Kyrie' and 'Agnus Dei' which were among components of Gounoud's short Latin mass sung by Worcester Male Voice Choir at Sunday's service at Holyrood and St. Teilo's Church. They were warmly thanked on their contribution to the liturgy by Canon Brian Kinrade on parishioners' behalf. In addition to the fine weather which showed off the Pembrokeshire countryside in all its glory, the party (some 85 in total) were given an insight into the rich musical tradition of Pembrokeshire youth. Rhian Morgan displayed her vast range of singing talents at the Tenby concert, while clarinettist Lee Mottram will no doubt have his wish to join an orchestra granted as he gave a truly virtuoso performance as part of the Whitland concert.
