Cheese and Wine Evening
On Wednesday 30th March the choir held a Cheese and Wine Evening at the Mansion House Swansea (The official residence of the Lord Mayor of Swansea) and were very pleased to be joined on the evening by the Lord Mayor of Swansea, Councillor Richard Lewis.
Choir members and guests enjoyed socialising with a glass of wine and various cheeses before the ladies of the choir sang for the Lord Mayor and their guests. Lynda Richards, Musical Director entertained the gathered audience, playing a couple of pieces on her flute and choir accompanist Roger Clegg also gave a short recital on the piano.
