There was a warm welsh welcome in the hills around Norden Farm in Maidenhead last Saturday (24 September 2016) when the audience were treated to a concert provided by the Caerphilly Male Voice Choir. Singing to an almost full auditorium they performed traditional welsh songs including Myfanwy and Men of Harlech. These invoked a strong sense of ‘hiraeth’ in those of us with welsh roots.
Unusually for a male voice choir there was a female vocalist, Cheryl Roberts, who is classically trained and included in her repertoire songs from shows such as Chess and Sweet Charity. This combination of music was certainly uplifting. The closing song of the concert, Calon Lan, was dedicated to a recently deceased member of Windsor St George, Emrys Richards.
The concert was organized by the Rotary Club of Windsor St George in conjunction with Norden Farm. Profits from the concert will go to Rotary Foundation charities such as Shelterbox and the Walk Centre in Kenya which the club supports. A raffle raised money for the Rotary ‘End Polio Now’ campaign which has almost succeeded in eradicating polio from the world.
