The choir continues to grow with other Council staff, friends and relatives joining. The ensemble has developed and have given many performances usually alongside their sister ensemble Women in Harmony.

Lord Mayor of Cardiff, Cllr Prof Delme Bowen, said: “This really is a splendid event that can be enjoyed by all the family. I would like to thank the Deputy Lord Mayor and everyone who has organised this event and shown their support for my chosen charity, Cancer Research Wales. I am looking forward to attending the concert on Saturday.”

We’re all like minded people and always look forward meeting for practice and concerts. It’s particularly exciting to be supporting the Lord Mayor’s charity at such a great venue.”
