They sang at the Botanic Gardens and Cardiff Castle, St Martins Church and the Senedd Steps in Cardiff Bay, but the highlight of the tour was singing to greet the thousands arriving at the Millennium Stadium prior to the Wales versus Italy match.

The Choirs’ 10th Anniversary celebrations include a 2022 Symphony Hall concert marking their fifth appearance there. Anyone can join - there are no auditions or requirement to read music. Just pop along from 7.30 – 9.00pm for a free taster – simply head to their website – www.got2sing.co.uk for more details.
