Thank you @ceri-francis. When I heard it yesterday I was near to tears. I’m so proud to be part of this.
Your skill in pulling it altogether is so professional. Well done.

The final result is wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this, @ceri-francis. I haven’t sung in a choir since I left school, so I’m really glad I could take part… I will be sharing it with all my friends because it’s so uplifting and shows what’s possible with a little ingenuity though I’m sure a lot of hard work was involved on your part. Diolch o galon!

I sent the link to a friend who sings in a choir in the Basque Country and he’s passed it on to the leader of the choir!! Very impressed with not just the performance, but how beautiful the song is. They do sing international songs in the choir, so who knows? Maybe you’ll get an invitation to go and teach it to them, Ceri

I had so many people comment when I shared this. It came out so well, and so beautifully. I even had one or two say it brought a tear to their eye (some of whom know no Welsh), and you can’t get a higher accolade than that!
