The Gwalia Ladies/Gwragedd Gwalia 

Wives and partners of the choir members meet about four times a year.  They arrange fundraising activities and social events to support the choir.  It is not an elected committee, everyone who wants to offer their support is most welcome.

To Wendy Gadd and family.


We are deeply saddened with the passing of our much-loved friend and Chorister, Roger Gadd, on January 29th,2025 after an illness courageously borne. A very popular and talented member of Gwalia, with a keen interest in Music and Male Voice. He will be sadly missed by all but fondly remembered for his many wonderful attributes.  Our deepest condolences to Wendy and family at this difficult time.



To Pam Sutton and family.


Our deepest condolences at the sad passing of dear Lawrence!  You’re all very much in our thoughts-and we send our love at this very difficult time!

Gwragedd Gwalia/Ladies’ Evening Concert.  Scout/Guide Hall, Brynmill - December 10th, 2024

There was much to organise for the annual Ladies’ Evening Gwalia Concert.Lists were prepared of duties-buffet, drinks, raffle tickets and gift requirements etc in previous meetings,and all was set out in the Hall and kitchen early afternoon.

Gwalia delighted the audience with a mixed repertoire of songs in the first half-and there was a poignant rendition of ‘Benedictus’ followed by a ‘minute’s silence’ in honour of their much-loved fellow chorister, Lawrence Sutton, who sadly passed away last week. The up-beat ‘Five Foot Two’ was a great first performance and encouraged high spirits and relaxation. The audience also enjoyed their carol-singing participation before the interval.

Mike Phippen,the Deputy Chairman introduced the second half with a tribute to former President Mr. Geoff Wheel, for his wonderful commitment to Gwalia for many years,and donated £11,030 to Janet Fisher, MND South West Wales,in his honour.

The Choir then continued with their Christmas spirit and songs-and the audience enjoyed more carol-singing participation.  The evening concluded with a delightful buffet for all-and all necessary clearing tasks were undertaken in the Hall and kitchen.  It was a lovely evening!Noson hyfryd-a diolch yn fawr!  We look forward to next year’s!
