It is with great sadness that Caldicot Male Voice Choir share the tragic news of the passing of one of our choristers, and Public Relations Officer of sixteen years, Lyn Gauntlett.

He has passed away peacefully this morning after a short illness.

He was a dedicated member of the choir and in his role as PRO kept the choir in the public eye with his professionalism and attention to detail.
He will be greatly missed by everyone involved with the choir.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Colleen and all his family and friends.

Rest in Peace dear friend

Caldicot Male Voice Choir was delighted to welcome St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choir to its Choir Hall on Sunday 17th May for a joint concert. This was the final concert of St Edmundsbury’s short tour of South Wales which included singing with Brecon Male Choir in Brecon Cathedral and with Mynyddislwyn Male Choir in Blackwood. The choir also sang emotionally at the Aberfan Memorial.

In a mixed and varied programme, conducted by Sian Hatton and Shirley Anne James and accompanied by Olivia Dance, Caldicot included ‘Rachie’, ‘Sixteen Tons’, the lullaby prayer ‘Y Darlun’, ‘Seventy Six Trombones’ from the Musical The Music Man and the romantic Welsh song ‘Anfonaf Angel’.

In an equally varied programme, St Edmundsbury, conducted by Leslie Olive and accompanied by Jill Garett, continued the first half with the rousing ‘Rhythm of Life’, Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, the Dionne Warwick hit ‘Walk on By’, the haunting poem ‘Seal Lullaby’ and finalizing with ‘When the Saints’ which had the audience foot tapping to the rhythm.

St Edmundsbury opened the second performance with 'What the World Needs Now is Love' and included in the second half ‘The Rose’ famously sang by Bette Midler, ‘My Kind of Girl’ which included saxophonist Julian Wiggins and the tumultuous ‘One Day Like This’. The presentation also included a firm favourite with Caldicot ‘What Would I Do Without My Music’.

Caldicot opened its second performance with a premiere performance of ‘Cantique de Jean Racine’ and included ‘California Dreamin’ featuring Nigel Keen on flute. Safwn yn y Bwlch’ and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ before finalising with ‘This is the Moment’ from the musical Jeckyl and Hyde.

Finally the two choirs combined to present ‘Morte Criste’ and the foot tapping traditional ‘Everytime I Feel the Spirit’.

The evening closed with a presentation of a commemorative slate plaque by Caldicot Chairman Leon Jones to St Edmundsbury’s chairman Mark Whitehead. In return Mark Whitehead presented an appreciated inscribed plaque to Caldicot’s chairman Leon Jones.

Following a tremendous ‘Afterglow’ and refreshments St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choir returned to Suffolk knowing that they’d had a wonderful friendly welcome by all they met during its South Wales Tour. Let’s hope they can return again soon.

On Saturday 9th May the Choir was pleased to travel to the little Tredegar Methodist Church to celebrate and recognize the 150 years since the Chapel opened on Vale Terrace.

In very warm conditions the Choir conducted by Sian Hatton and Shirley Anne James thrilled the enthusiastic audience by opening with the rousing Welsh Hymn, ‘Rachie’ and followed in its first half with The Flying Pickets hit ‘Only You’ with additional accompaniment from flautist Nigel Keen, traditional ‘Shenandoah’, ‘16 Tons’, the Kinks ‘Days’ and finalizing with ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ from the musical Carousel.

While the Choir retired to take a well earned break, choir Lead Accompanist, Olivia Dance delighted the audience with superbly executed piano solos of songs from several films and shows including the well- known tune ‘You Must Remember This’ from the film Casablanca.

Appearing in the second spot the choir discarded its blazers to open with ‘African Prayer’ with the second verse in Welsh, the favourite wish ‘May You Always Have a Song’, the patriotic ‘Safwn yn y Bwlch’, Leonard Cohen’s ‘Halleluyah’, ’76 Trombones’ the marching song from the musical ‘The Music Man’ and ‘Autumn Leaves’ before finalizing with the beautiful and poignant Welsh song ‘Anfonaf Angel’.

There is no doubt that the audience truly appreciated the concert with its varied repertoire, superbly performed by the choir and musical team with many favourable comments and well deserved plaudits from the audience.

The choir and guests then retired to the church back room to enjoy a wonderful and incredible presentation of food, cakes, teas and coffees provided by the church ladies, very much appreciated by the choristers and music team.

The Choir will be joined next Sunday on 17th May by St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choir at a joint concert at the Choir Hall, Mill Lane, Caldicot. Tickets £10 so if you want to hear two great choirs please be there.
