Pershore Abbey with Worcester Male Choir

For our fourth tour concert we travelled to Pershore in Worcestershire to sing with the Worcester Male Voice Choir in the breath-taking ambience and superb acoustic of the ancient Pershore Abbey.

We started the first half with O Gymru and Si Hei Lwli Mabi, followed by Paul Jarman’s epic tale of Aboriginal resistance, Pemulwuy, and Working Man (solo Geoff Serpell), which both received sustained applause.

After our hosts had sung their first bracket we joined them in singing Gwahoddiad.

We opened the second half with our medley from Les Misérables (solo Rushan Hewawasam), followed by our version of Waltzing Matilda with a Welsh twist in the tail (solo Drew Hopkins and Graeme Sanderson), which was greeted by the fifth standing ovation of our tour.

Then as a finale we joined our hosts in the Welsh standards Rachie and Morte Criste.

The sell-out audience appeared to be well satisfied.
