The Bandstand

What better way to celebrate one of Wales' leading choir's hundredth birthday than with a varied programme of familiar songs in the magical atmosphere of candlelight as the sun sets on the Eisteddfod Maes?

Pendyrus Male Choir was established in 1924 in Tylorstown in the world-famous Rhondda valley. It celebrates its centennial anniversary this year with a full calendar of performances. This is a choir that fills Rhondda Fach with pride, and that has generously contributed to the unique culture and history over the years

Prês Poced will accompany the Choir, an ensemble of talented instrumentalists, and lifelong friends from across Wales that was set up by musician Dewi Griffiths to successfully compete at the 2008 National Eisteddfod. They now perform annually at Eisteddfod ceremonies
