Another successful year at the Abergavenny Eisteddfod:
"Fantastic choice of programme – immediately allowed the audience to settle with you and it was so clear you love it!
You make a fantastic sound for a choir of around 15 when you are “Tutti” it’s powerful!
Excellently led and accompanied – your discipline shows and I couldn’t help but grin. Lovely to hear solos within the music too. Well done!"

We entered our first Eisteddfod at Abergavenny, despite not all of our members being available to sing. The judges said it was a close call between the two choirs. However, CytSain were victorious! There was high praise from the judges for the choice of music, the enthusiasm of the choir and an excellent solo from Rhian in Defying Gravity.

A condensed version of the choir fundraising for Age Cymru at John Lewis, Cardiff. During the 40 minute performance we received some very complimentary comments: "You sound very professional" and "It makes a nice change from Jingle Bells" being two of them. Thank you to John Lewis for giving us the opportunity to perform and a huge thank you to the shoppers for donating.

"Thank you all for taking the time and trouble to perform at our launch of the Hate Crime Framework for Action yesterday. You created the perfect atmosphere of harmony as the highly diverse audience arrived. It set the tone for an event that was full of positive messages and which was very well received. I said thank you to some of you as you were leaving, and repeated the thanks in front of the audience once the formal proceedings began, but I wanted to be sure that every choir member who took part knows how grateful to you I and the Fairer Futures team are for your accomplished contribution to the event."

"Dear Rhian, many thanks for the Choir’s contribution to the Legal Services Conference. I would be grateful if you could extend to members of the Choir my thanks for their contribution which brought a really pleasant dimension to the lunchtime event. It was a positive contribution for which we are very grateful. I noted that Lady Justice Arden and the Counsel General took a keen interest in your repertoire. Once again many thanks for your assistance."

"Dear Ben, just a quick note to thank you and all of the Choir for the performance – and all the hard work behind it – during Desmond Tutu’s visit last week. You all did us proud on a high profile occasion and I know what that takes. Thank you again. Regards."
