Serendipity in Pubs

Last night, I went to the rapper party.  It's a gathering every couple of months of our local rapper sword dancers who invite any interested dancers, musicians, singers to come along for a good session.

Rapper is a dance that naturally works in pubs, it can be danced in a very small space and it's a good dance for the audience to be close to.

Tonight, the landlord said that there was a Welsh choir that had said they might be there later in the evening.  Would this be a problem?

Heck no!  We crossed our fingers all evening and were delighted when they showed up.

Talk about a marriage made in heaven.

They loved our dancing (and the dancers both rapper and clog did one of their best performances with a really appreciative audience.  Lancashire clog, not clog morris).  We loved their singing.  I've always loved male voice choirs and to have one singing live about ten feet away - and singing loads of songs that I really love - let's just say that I was a very happy bunny.

We sang songs, they sang songs.  It's hard to pick out highlights, but when their bass sang 'Old Man River' my hair was almost standing on end.  Our best one of the evening was probably 'Union Miners'

Here, so you can have the pleasure too of listening to them for a minute or so, are the Llantrisant Male Voice Choir

And because I've just found them singing 'Rhythm of Life', you can listen to that too.  (because it's even better than the first one!)
