A surprise guest at the concert was 7 year old Ellie McGuire. Ellie made such an impression when she sang at our St David's Day Concert with Rhydian Roberts that we had to invite her to join our birthday celebrations. Once again she was a great hit with the audience who loved her rendition of Ar Hyd Y Nos

 
17 year old Ben Howells was introduced to the audience as the Choir's youngest member. He shares the applause with his fellow top tenor,
Lyn Maddocks, who happens to be Ben's grandfather !

 

 

 

 

Rebecca and Gary join for an entertaining duet: 'Pa Pa Pa Papageno' from Mozart's opera 'The Magic Flute'

 Choir and Orchestra join for the final spot
 

As the Concert comes to a close Rebecca Evans 
brings on the Birthday cake.
