CALDICOT Male Voice Choir has been selected to represent Wales at Buckingham Palace.

The choir has been selected by Welsh Association of Male Choirs (WAMC) to represent it at the special celebration at the palace on 22nd May.

Lyn Gauntlett, choir spokesperson said: “HRH The Prince of Wales is patron of the WAMC and as such his office invited the association to recommend a Welsh male choir to share in his birthday celebrations.

“To be fair this was to be done by a draw of interested choirs and since our interest was expressed we were entered.

“This is a great honour and a very prestigious event for Caldicot Male Voice Choir following its appearance at the Festival of Massed Voices at the Royal Albert Hall and will mean a lot of practice to get as near perfect as we can. There are several choirs, including Morriston Orpheus, Treorchy, Swansea, Dowlais who were interested so we are proud to be representing them as well. We’re not just representing the Welsh Association of Male Choirs and Caldicot but the whole of Wales. A huge responsibility but the choir is sure it is up to it.”
