13th
June 2007 - Well, we are back. How did it go? Have a look at the tour
report opposite. |
The
choir embarks upon its long awaited, and eagerly anticipated, tour near the
end of this month. Choristers and partners fly off to Montréal to give the
good citizens of Montréal a flavour of Warrington. The venture is supported by the North West Development
Agency, and the gentlemen of the Montréal
Welsh
Male Choir, who have extended a warm welcome, and the hand of friendship to the
choir. The choir looks forward to forging new friendships, and, together
with the Montréal
Welsh, demonstrating and sharing in the joy of male choral singing.
