Harold Woody was a dear friend of mine and his recent death saddened me. Due to ill-health, I was unable to travel to Canada to pay my respects to a great Welshman but he'll never be forgotten. RIP Harold.

I had the pleasure of seeing the spring concert in Whitby this past Saturday night. It was such a wonderful evening listening to the beautiful voices of the Welsh Men's Choir as well as the soloist, Amy. I also have to say how remarkable the pianist was. It was a spectacular evening, and I highly recommend that people come out to see the choir perform.

My sincere compliments go to: William; Matthew; the choristers, Music Director, and Accompanist of the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus; and Margaret Bárdos. On Saint David's Day, you offered a magnificent celebration of the Welsh language and music and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know from personal experience, just how much work goes into organizing and performing a concert of that magnitude - but you made it look all so easy. I would also like to compliment Greg Brown, the compere, on his style of introducing the various pieces. His sense of humour and deadpan, risqué asides were a wonderful compliment to the concert. It is one thing to introduce the numbers - but quite another to have the audience laugh ("We Rise Again") and be connected with the next tune, even before it begins. My best wishes to you all.

Once again, the boys sang their hearts out and provided the audience with a superb evening. I have been at many of their concerts and am never disappointed. Hats off to all of you.

The January 31st concert at Trinity Church Aurora was terrific and the sellout crowd clearly enjoyed the choral music and John Clement's guest appearance. Friends from Markham who attended enjoyed both the concert and venue, having seen it advertised in local media.

What a choir you are. Such beautiful music. Your sound filled me with Awe. I especially enjoyed Divine Brahma and Scotland the Brave. What memorable music you gave to your sold out audience. Everyone loved you.

Monica & I always enjoy your concerts and Jan.31 was excellent as usual. Also, it was close to home so we didn't have to drive down to the city. Wish your March 1 concert was closer.

What a gift, in keeping with the season, you gave your audience on Saturday night. The widely varied music - with its balanced blending of voices, its precision with and sensitivity to the lyrics, the fitting dynamics - and the humour - provided by the choir, the conductor, the announcer and even the soloist - made the gift memorable indeed. The soloist - Marion Samuel-Stevens - provided a charming contrast to the male voicing. But what caught my ears' attention most was the superb skill of Matthew Coons! He deserves special credit for his understated-when-necessary, delicate, precise, bold (Finlandia and the carols) inspired support. What a treasure he is for this splendid choir.

Thanks TWMVC for an excellent performance on October 25th at the Church of St. Timothy, North Toronto . With your help and generous local supporters we raised a substantial amount of money in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. The concert was a sell out with almost 600 people including the Lieutenant Governor Her Honour Elizabeth Dowdeswell in attendance. The programme you presented was amazing and included Welsh hymns traditional songs Canadian favourites as well as some African and spiritual pieces. I particularly enjoyed Oes Gafr Eto ( Counting goats)

On Sept. 14th, 2014, the Rotary Club of Campbellford and the Warkworth Community Service Club joined forces to host the Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir at Westben Festival Theatre in Campbellford. The purpose of this event was to raise funds for the two service clubs while providing a wonderful afternoon of entertainment to the community. Having the pleasure of serving as the contact between the choir and the clubs, I can say that, without exception, all my contacts with the choir and its various representatives were highly professional and that the group's performance was of exceptional quality. While Welsh music predominated the afternoon, a healthy mix of other genres made the repertoire most interesting and entertaining. We were most fortunate to have brought the choir to our community and both clubs now have additional funds for community work.
