Letter from Ray Woodfield who arranged all the music for the recording, dated September 2014;

Dear Morriston Orpheus Choir,
 
I was the music arranger for some of your EMI recordings, notably 'A Grand Night For Singing'. When I heard via Desmond Carrington that you have released it as a CD I was highly delighted. I have listened to it frequently and have to say that the quality and balance between choir and band is second to none. There must be many older people who would love to have a copy – I don't have Facebook but I believe it is free and a good method of advertising. The musicality of the choir shines out and is a joy to listen to. Bob Barratt made a good choice with this project and the recording engineer, Stuart Eltham, deserves a round of applause too. I read a review on the Internet that said 'it is an uplifting CD'. It really is, and I thank the 1976 Morriston Orpheus Choir for such an enjoyable and enduring experience.
Warmest regards,
Ray Woodfield
