Come along and join Cantorion-Y-Gelli for some good old-fashioned Welsh “hwyl”! Cantorion-Y-Gelli is Hay’s mixed-voice, Welsh-language choir set up by musical director Gemma Woolford, who gathered a group of friends together after the last lockdown to learn one Welsh song.
The majority of members are either learning Welsh or passionate about the language, with three first-language Welsh-speakers keeping a strict ear on pronunciation. Cantorion-Y-Gelli has a varied repertoire of traditional folk songs, hymns, male voice choir classics and even a football anthem.
