The London Welsh Rugby Club Choir

The London Welsh Rugby Club has a long and illustrious history, and its latest torchbearers – the London Welsh Rugby Club Choir – are spreading the good name of the club through music and friendship..

Since its formation in 2003 the choir has brought its unique sound to sell-out audiences across the UK, Europe and New Zealand. With strong ties to both their Welsh roots and the exile community centred around London Welsh’s famous Old Deer Park rugby ground, further high-profile appearances on national radio and television followed, including its defining moment, performing at the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony in front of a worldwide audience of more than one billion.

Cork Prison Officers Male Voice Choir

The choir began back in 1985, undergoing significant evolution over the years. The current group has been in rehearsal since 2011 when Jackie O'Connell became our Musical Director. Comprising both serving and retired Prison Officers, the Choir conducts its weekly rehearsals at Collins Barracks in Cork City.

Their passion for singing is evident, and the motto they live by is "Just for Fun." The Choir has had remarkable experiences, including participating in the New York St. Patrick's Day Parade and performing in St. Patrick's Cathedral while there. The choir was honoured to perform for the Kent family at the State Funeral for the reinterment of Thomas Kent. They also performed in the 2023 Cork Choral Festival.
