Hello local people,
Some of you will know that there are plans to create a Borth community theatrical event in the village at the end of May 2019. The show/ Play will be performed at 4 or more locations (outside and inside) in the village over an afternoon. There would be performers/ talkers/ singers and dancers of all ages from across the community. Being a part of the singing group “the Chorus” will not stop you getting involved in other ways too. The Borth Arts group will be co-ordinating the project, Mike Francis will be writing, and Rae Lewis will be the Director.
Côr y gors, the Borth choir have been asked to do some singing, and we’d like to have others join us too. We want to get lots of people who are up for learning a song or two or more. You only have to commit to the Event project and as many “once a week” rehearsals/ workshops as you can make from January till May next year. We will try to ensure that it is also possible to learn and take part online and remotely too. The songs you’ll learn may include traditional Welsh Hymns and songs as well as new songs especially written for the project. You will then know these songs for ever! and be able to join in if you happen to be somewhere and hear them start up. If you haven’t ever taken part in Communal singing, then you are very rare. Football and Rugby matches, Marches and Demo’s, Church and Chapel, singing along with your friends to a special song on a night out. Singing along to the radio with your family in the car at the start of a holiday. Also those of you sing in a choir already! I defy anyone who has done any of these things not to admit that it was an enriching and enjoyable thing to do. It’s good for you and all of us. It is one of the best social glues that humans have ever come up with!
If you are interested in taking part, then we’ll need an e.mail address and/or phone number so we can keep you informed. Send any contact details to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. The first rehearsal /meet will take place in the big hall in Borth at 2.30 on Sunday 13th January. Please do pass this on to anyone else who might be interested.
