Welsh song in the heart of England
Here we are at St Finbarrs GAA Club last Sunday night where we sang some “plygain” (Welsh Christmas carols), a couple of sea shanties, and some of the classics. We had a brilliant time and a really warm welcome from a very lively crowd who had just come up from watching Wasps v Munster at the Ricoh! Being allowed to have a drink as we performed definitely helped with the voices – well we thought so anyway!
We had a much better day busking last Saturday than we did the Saturday before what with the combination of mild weather and a better spot to sing we raised £86 in comparison to £14 the week before. The total of £100 has been sent over to Coventry Peace House towards their night shelter. And we look forward to doing some more busking next year! (don’t we?). Unfortunately Mark has cut himself out of the picture while taking it selfie style.
The boys had a go at busking in Coventry City Centre today! It was a first time experience for some of us, though not all. We collected for the Coventry Peace House Night Shelter. It was an enjoyable experience if rather cold and windy, and after an hour we were quite relieved to go for a cup of coffee!
