CHRIS EVANS BREAKFAST SHOW BBC

 

The London Welsh Rugby Club Choir were invited to take part in the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Thursday October 13th as part of the build up to the Wales v France Rugby World Cup semi-final clash in Auckland.
As well as Chris, Cardiff-born Lynn Bowles, the BBC Radio 2 travel correspondent, was also in the studio to hear the choir and was visibly moved to tears by the sound.

Twelve of the the choir with conductor Michael Wyn Jones at the piano, sang live to an audience of over 8 million listeners, choosing a selection of well-known Welsh songs that are familiar to rugby audiences world-wide.

CHOIR AT ODP

 

 

"The London Welsh Rugby Club Choir sang at their home venue on Saturday 9th April, when London Welsh Rugby Club entertained Worcester Warriors in the 5th play-off stage of the RFU Championship", commented Choir Chairman Joe Jones (pictured).

A capacity crowd in the hospitality marquee were entertained by the choir before watching a pulsating game of rugby which the Warriors edged by 20-22, though the Welsh could have won if their injury time penalty hadn't fallen just short of the crossbar.

A beautiful day with plenty of warm spring sunshine was just right for the choir to sing to the supporters after the game outside the famous clubhouse at Old Deer Park where a crowd of over two thousand had gathered to have a drink and relive the action of the afternoon.

The London Welsh Rugby Club Choir were joined by their President, John Dawes, who, as past captain and coach of London Welsh, Wales and the British and Irish Lions is always a welcome visitor to this little bit of Wales in west London.

London Welsh Rugby Club Choir - Time Travellers

WIMBORNE MINSTER

 

It's not only fictional time-lords who can wander back over the centuries, you just have to be a member of the London Welsh Rugby Club Choir!
 
 The weekend of April 17th 2010 saw the choir travel back to the 12th century when it gave a beautifully controlled concert in the wonderful Wimborne Minster, Dorset. The greater part of the Church, as we know it today, was built by the Normans between 1120 and 1180, to support that college of secular canons and it resounded to the choir's performance to raise funds for the local hospital and rugby club.
 
 A week later the choir had again gone through a time warp, this time to the age of Henry Tudor when it appeared at Carew Manor in Sutton. The choir were invited by the local Round Table to sing for the school which now uses the Manor and which caters for pupils with moderate learning difficulties.
 
 Another packed audience responded to the choir's repertoire with promising young Welsh soprano and Eisteddfod winner Menna Cazel Davies providing the solo sections at both venues.
