The second, and final, night of our 10th Anniversary concerts (with guest choir South Wales Gay Mens Chorus, from Cardiff).


From one of our new members, Ollie Lewis (Bass) on Facebook:
"I just wanted to pass on that all my friends and family were completely amazed by the performance last night. They were impressed by the brilliant organisation of the concert, the choice of songs and the professionalism by all!

A lot has been said already but I am sat here on a high from last night and I just had to write something!

Obviously I understand the efforts that went into this weekends concert and I just wanted to thank you all for making my first ever concert an amazing experience. I can’t tell you how nervous I felt waiting on those stairs to go on stage Friday night. Amazingly as soon as we started the moves for Adiemus I got well into it. Doing Friday's show put me totally at ease with Saturday’s show and I enjoyed every second being on stage Saturday. Dave - thanks for organising the after party at the Queenshilling as such short notice - it was the perfect way to end the night!

I just wanted to thank you Sing Out not only to an amazing performance weekend but for making me feel so welcome since joining in September. I have made some amazing friends for life already and it’s great to gradually get to know more and more people. I can honestly say it’s the best thing I have done for years joining you guys. You make me feel incredibly proud!

Special thanks to Rónán, Dan, Dawai, Steve, Dave, Lindsey and Kellie for just being awesome! Also to Carlos and Tomek you guys have become such awesome best friends! There are also so many more who have become friends and have made my time with the choir brilliant - you know who you are! Huge thank you to Neil Forsyth for making me feel so comfortable in my early few weeks and beyond. At times where I just couldn’t get the songs you always give me sound advice!"

From Fergal Doyle (Tenor) on Facebook:
"My parents literally haven’t stopped raving about the concert since Saturday night. Tears all round. It was the first time in about 10 years that’s I’ve sang in public (drunk karaoke doesn’t really count), and the first time in my life that I’ve broken down the barriers in my ever so compartmentalised life; The real me, the family me, the home me, the performer me. (It was also my parents first time ever in a gay bar and they were up dancing till 2am!)  It wouldn’t have happened without the choir. Thank you all for being wonderful humans and even more wonderful singers, conductors, choreographers, musicians,organisers etc etc. Xx"

From Richard Davies (Tenor) on Facebook:
"My family and friends were bowled over by our performance last night. They told me that we were fantastic, a beautiful blend of voices and very professional! I'm so proud to be a member of Sing Out Bristol! Thank you to everyone who made our 10 Year Anniversary concerts possible and so memorable - what a team! X"

From Rhi O'Gorman (Alto) on Facebook:
"Thank you Sing Out family for the best performances yet. I had a blast. My mum is still trying to get over her first drag king experience, my partner's parents/step parents have been inspired to join a choir and EVERYONE loved the shows. Scarborough Fair and Dulaman were the favourites. Big Question: what am I going to listen to on the way to work now?!"


"Five stars ! I loved the controlled singing, the choice of songs,the Gailic one [Dúlamán] at the end of the first half made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up .I thought the visiting choir Vibe,was also outstanding and joyous. Loved the little Downs Syndrome girl . So good to see inclusion not rejection. The signer was mesmeric! . Three conductors,all so inspirational. A wonderful evening ,thank you!"

"Superb!"

"Excellent show, so many happy faces."

"Excellent performance and a truly wonderful evening."

"Amazing night!! Bring back the Welsh!!."

"Well presented. The last half hour of the show was particularly spectacular and sent the audience away eager to return."

"It was brilliant."

"I had a side seat but it did not stop me enjoying the show.!"

"All good."
