Making Waves- 8th June 2019

We have an exciting weekend planned as Côr Gobaith host SJOKK – a socialist choir from Sandnes, Norway as well as Cardiff’s Cor Cochion and the Pales Peace Choir!

You will see the choirs busking around Aberystwyth 10.30- 12, raising money for Medicin Sans Frontieres and Aberystwyth Samaritans. Please lend an ear and give generously!

The main event is the Making Waves concert at the Morlan – 7.30- 9pm, suggested donation of £5 again to our chosen charities. Don’t miss out on hearing not just us, but 3 other amazing choirs!

With many thanks to Aberystwyth Town Council, Sophie Bach and other donors for their financial contributions to running these events.

Street Choirs Festival 2017 in Kendal

Great weekend, thanks Kendal! And thanks, Ieuan, for the video of the weekend (evening performance about 17 minutes in). Great to link up with other Campaign Choirs

Chelsea Manning freed!

17 May 2017. Great to be able to celebrate rather than demonstrate for a change! Three cheers for whistle-blowers!

15 December: Aleppo Vigil and Chelsea Manning’s birthday

Aberystwyth’s Aleppo Vigil took place on Chelsea Manning’s 29th birthday – strangely connected in that among the cables Chelsea released to WikiLeaks were many relating to Syria, as a place where violent insurrection could be fomented.

Standing with Standing Rock

Côr Gobaith sing in support of Standing Rock, Aberystwyth Harbour (10 December 2016) – occasionally in competition with the wind! Thanks to Ieuan for ever ready recording!
