December and the beginning of Advent arrived with a wonderfully heartening Christmas Concert at All Saints Church, Porthcawl.
The exquisite sixty piece Porthcawl Community Orchestra and Col Canto singers were magical. It was music of the highest standard with familiar Christmas pieces in refreshingly different settings. It was nothing short of a real treat.
The second half Suite from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker was expertly executed. To end proceedings came a robust rendering of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, which raised the roof. This whole event made for and excellent start to the Christmas Season.
Diolch yn Fawr iawn pawb. Llongyfarchiadau on a stunning concert.
Particular thanks to Musical Director Jack Bridger. Also, Charlotte Worth, Deana Stacey, Erica Beynon, Paul Greenway and last but certainly not least the incomparable Compere Andy Skilling - and all who made this concert such a success. I must say the half-time mulled wine and minced pies were also a boon!
