    My wonderful Dad was in the London Welsh Male Voice Choir, he is on that stage singing his heart out, as a true Welshman would. I am also there, proudly watching him and all the other choristers, with goosebumps. We lost our Dad last year, himself and his incredible voice is missed beyond measure.

      @@mizofan have you noticed that your dog has the same name as a well known wellsh opera singer? oh yeah, the opera and classical seen here in Sweden is so strong. we have produced ( and are still producing ) great tallent in the opera world, such as nina stemme, marlena ärnman, loa falkman, etc. we even have schools and institutions here in Sweden where you can learn how to sing opera. and even here in gothenburg, we even have our own opera house and opera company as well, so yeah, we are quite on the go over here. thanks for the comment! stay safe!

    Impressive number of choirs, and HUGE! Listening to and viewing this I find that either through the recording of this or something more fundamental, when such large choirs gather it sounds all 'smushed' together.
    The listener (me) cannot distinguish between tenor, baritone or bass sections as one would when listening to smaller choirs. Instead, the 'being-bowled-over' effect is through the sheer volume of so many voices singing in one place.
    What I am saying is that for me numbers are not as important as the quality of singing that I can hear much more clearly whilst listening to a smaller choir
    I will never forget the experience of hearing a Welsh Men's Choir in a small church in Ottawa. The singers walked out on stage and most of them had no hair or white hair. Seeing them, I figuratively rolled my eyes and wondered why I had paid for a ticket. The instant that they started singing I got tears in my eyes from the sheer beauty. Wow! I had hugely underestimated them. It was a memorable performance -- wish I could remember the name of the choir. They blew me away!
