Welcome to our world

The London Welsh Rugby Club has a long and illustrious history, and its latest torch-bearers " the club choir " could well be at your venue for a charity fund-raising concert.
Since its formation, under the presidency of Wales and British and Irish Lions legend John Dawes OBE, 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, the choir continues to spread their love of music to old and young alike.
And the choir he presides over goes from strength to strength too, with its 40-strong members kept firmly in line by  Michael Wyn Jones who has been a member of the BBC Symphony Chorus and the 1998 Choir of the year Exmoor Singers, and is responsible for a development of the choir few could have predicted. The repertoire has been expanded, a new style of singing introduced and innovations developed wherever possible. The result is a choir singing with an infectious enthusiasm that is hard to resist
So now you and your audience could be a part of a night that will touch your ears, eyes and heart.
If you have never booked a choir before or organized a charitable event, we have a great deal of experience gathered over the years and would be more than happy to share it with you.

You may wish to consider the following:
PRE CONCERT:
Arrange a meeting (on site) with a representative of the choir.
The most important item for the choir is to be able to place the choristers and conductor as comfortably as possible in the space available and to produce a 'good sound' on the night!

The programme can be discussed. (A concert will normally last for about 1?  to 2?   hours including an interval. Start times can be thought about
If there is a piano on site, it can be inspected.
Refreshments for the choir can be arranged.
Specific repertoire items might be requested or suggested for the programme.

The choir is happy to send out details. Information is available on the choir website
http.//www.thelondonwelshrugbyclubchoir.org

Publicising your concert.
Produce a poster and post locally:
Write a pre-concert release and distribute to local media
Prepare a concert programme in sufficient numbers for the audience and choir.

Send press items "pre & post" to the concert secretary for inclusion on the Choir website.
Produce smaller 'fliers' for handouts at supermarkets and/or through letterboxes.

Adequate parking space for cars or coach.
Access for electric piano if needed by choir and mains electric socket.
A decent tuned piano is usually preferable.

Two Concerts for the price of One.
Part of the choir ethos is to enjoy post choir events, referred as 'afterglow'. Assistance with finding a suitable pub venue is appreciated. The promoters are always warmly welcomed
A post concert buffet for the choir is welcome particularly if we have travelled a long way

The choir expects settlement of fees in advance of a concert or on the day itself.
