Diary 2010

Sunday, February 28th
The Scala Theatre in Prestatyn is a new venue for the choir. This old cinema in the High Street has been completely restored and converted into a concert hall by the "Friends of the Scala". The concert is to celebrate its re-opening and it should be a gala evening with the supporting artistes.

March 5th to 7th Choir trip to Harrogate.
Originally this was to give a concert for the Mayor of York's Charity Fund. It was all arranged, hotel, transport etc., but then we heard no more. Never mind, we will have a convivial weekend away without any responsibilities.

Annual Festival Concert at the Flint Pavilion Saturday, April 17th.
This concert is the only event we stage where all the profits go to choir funds and without the cash from it our our accounts look rather sick. Last year we invited the Glanaethwy Junior Choir and what an eye opener that was; we were all astonished at the tremendous sound and sheer exuberance of the young performers. This year the Senior Choir have accepted and they are renowned as the top school choir in Wales. Their performances in Côr Cymru (S4C) and "Last Choir Standing" have given them the status they deserve and we are honoured to perform with them. Don't miss this.

St.Ethelwolds Church, Shotton, Saturday, May 22nd
Another regular venue for the choir and once more we are happy to contribute to their funds.

Leigh Parish Church, Lancashire, Saturday, June 12th.
We have sung here before as one of our Lancashire excursions, this time it is to help with an appeal (no pun intended) to save the church bells. The venue is a traditional Anglican building, wonderful acoustic and a real pleasure to perform in. We always look forward to Lancashire.

Flint Festival, Opening Concert, Saturday, July 3rd.
This year the Flint Festival runs from 3rd to 17th July and we are pleased to open this worthy event at the Gwynedd School. By popular demand we have re-invited Ysgol Glanaethwy Junior Choir to appear, they were so delighted with their reception here in 2009 and are really looking forward to this time. Once again, don't miss this one.

Saturday, July 24th.
The only time we have used Mostyn Parish Church was for a rehearsal to assess its suitability for a recording and prior to the visit to Austria. Much water has passed under the bridge since those days and we are pleased to return to sing for Mostyn folk where we know we have lots of support.

Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight. Saturday 29th August.
In 2009 we appeared at this unique venue for the first time and were so well received the management could not wait to book us again. We are very flattered, especially when you see the quality of the artistes they have there. The theatre is a true community effort and puts on events throughout the year in a truly professional manner. We will try and uphold their standards.

September.
We are holding this space in the diary for a prestigious booking which at the moment is on the blocks awaiting the starter's gun. Watch this space.

Flint High School, Flint Young Musician Competition, Saturday October 16th.
This will be the 24th year for this prestigious event and we have decided to make a double change. Our normal date has been March, but there is so much going on for young musicians at this time we have decided on the autumn to see if this makes any difference to the entrants. Overt the years the Armoury Masonic Hall have been very kind to the competition, but changes to their set up have made the evening concert quite difficult. Flint High School have welcomed us with open arms and their drama theatre has the intimate atmosphere ideal for young performers. It will also enable the choir to sing during the final adjudications. Contact the Choir Secretary for details.

Hafan Deg, Treuddyn, Friday October 22nd.
The concert is in the school hall. We have performed here many times not least many years ago in their eisteddfod, probably best forgotten.

Annual Charity Concert, December 12th.
The choir host this concert to help local charities and voluntary organisations who would be unable to host a concert on their own. They sell the tickets and get the proceeds for themselves. Now in its umpteenth year and as successful as ever A great way to welcome the festive season.

Weddings. From time to time the choir are asked to assist at wedding ceremonies, both to aid in the hymn singing and to entertain while the congregation assembles and during the register signing. If any couple wish to avail themselves of this service please contact us through the Concert Secretary,Gwyn Hughes on 01352 761889 Thanks.
