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!

It’s going to be a great night, golden oldies, photos from the archives as well as plenty of new material and a bit of banter. Limited space so please contact the Morlan to book your spot. Spread the word!

10 year anniversary

It is 10 years since Social Forum Cymru in Aberystwyth and the formation of Côr Gobaith. 2016 is another busy year for the choir, especially with Red Leicester hosting the Street Choir Festival, which we’ll particularly want to support, but we still find time to celebrate!

Concert at the Morlan on 30 April at 7 for 7.30pm followed by partying and singing till we drop – inviting all our ex-members, friends, comrades and supporters to celebrate with us: PLEASE COME.

Past and present members meet on Friday 29 April for drinks, catch up and reminiscence, then we all sing together at Street sing at 11am on Saturday 30 April, party in the evening and Sunday we sing, talk, walk……
