It was an open invitation for men who wanted the informal experience of singing within the ranks of a Welsh male Vocie choir and it proved to be a huge success.

We recently recorded this with Nigel Owens for a TV programme. He always wanted to sing his favourite song with a male Voice choir. We in Dowlais were so pleased to help him realise his ambition. Hope you all enjoy listening to a great referee and a great choir, as together we sing......MYFANWY.
