The Phoenix
There are over 150 male choirs in Wales, but in 2007 some 30 men decided to leave an established choir to start a new journey. They wanted to get away from the traditional male voice choir structure and the old arrangements of well-known songs. Thus the Phoenix was born, with the innovative Siân Pearce as Musical Director. They will be singing jazz numbers: a perfect accompaniment for lunch at the Pavilion restaurant…
