Eley Park Blackburn South

‘Wow!’ ‘took my breath away’  ‘a gamut of emotions … moved me to tears’  ‘the singing brings tears to my eyes’   ‘sends a tingle up the spine’  ‘leaves you wanting more!’

On 25th November our Côr Bach (small choir) presented a concert at the Eley Park Community Centre in Blackburn South. 

Audience feedback included.

Absolutely wonderful – Wow! ~ Barbara

Such a gamut of emotions, I don’t know where to begin. Some items literally had my scalp tingling, some made me laugh. Myfanwy and Under Milk Wood (Eli Jenkins Prayer) moved me to tears. Can’t wait for another one! ~ Elgin

Excellent concert, beautiful singing both with Choir and Soloists. Loved Myfanwy and Eli Jenkins Prayer. Good luck in the future. Wonderful conducting and thank you for a great afternoon. ~ Felix

We absolutely loved the concert. The conductress and pianist are inspiring. The dedication of the men is amazing – all without books! The variety of pieces presented was excellent. Thank you especially for Amazing Grace, When the Saints and Cwm Rhondda.   Ruth and Esther

Took my breath away. Everyone was brilliant. Look forward to more concerts. Just beautiful. Merry Christmas to all! ~ Pamela

Wonderful concert, forgotten how those inspiring voices give such pleasure, haven’t been to a concert for a while, silly me, will remedy that.  Just lovely!!   Heather

Loved every minute – great voices, lots of humour – a wonderful afternoon. Super accompanist. ~ Jo

I am not Welsh but the singing brings tears to my eyes – very emotional. The ”X” factor would not stand a chance!! ~ Margaret

Harmonies beautiful without accompaniment – more please. ~ Gwen

An excellent concert, nicely balanced. It’s the first time I have been to a Côr Bach concert although I have followed the full choir for many years and have most of your CDs. The usual high standard was maintained. Well done. The arrangement of Waltzing Matilda always sends a tingle up the spine. ~ Kerry

A most enjoyable concert. They keyboard player was excellent but I would prefer more solo choir pieces. The program length was very good – NOT TOO LONG BUT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE!  Audience participation – a good idea and worked well. Conductor – v. good. Medley – v. good. Acoustics of last item was the best. ~ B. Fish (retired violin teacher)

Our first concert of Welsh Male Choir and found it absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much. ~ Dale

A fantastic concert – very enjoyable. I hope you come again. ~ Dorothy

Great. Best I have heard. ~ Elaine

A wonderful concert – the best this year – and that is saying something! ~ Frances

Good range. Pemulwuy and Waltzing Matilda. Fantastic. ~ Jeanette

This choir obviously enjoys what they sing – this is clearly observed by its audience, we enjoy it too. (Well done!) ~ Jim

It was well rounded with a variety of music. Humour was used as well which is always good, and audience participation. There are some beautiful voices, so keep up the good work and the pleasure you provide to the public. ~ Pamela

Choir, pianist and conductor excellent – most enjoyable day. ~ Pat

Most enjoyable concert I have been to. Singing was excellent. Come back again. ~ Patricia

Excellent 10/10 ~ Rob

Very ;entertaining. Lots of fun. Beautiful voices. Will come again. ~ Val

Wonderful great concert, a joy to watch, especially Lorna and Faleiry. ~ Yvonne

Roger Bartlett has a lovely voice and excellent diction, also all singers were wonderful. Most enjoyable concert – hope to hear more.

Most enjoyable – The choir’s enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment – impressive and contagious. Great to hear old time favourites but also good to hear lesser known, especially Pemulwuy.
