From the WNGGA website:- "The forty-six member choir was formed in 1949 in Llanuwchllyn, a village nestled between the shores of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) and the Aran mountain, which stands majestically above. It is an area steeped in history, literature and music. Llanuwchllyn retains a firm Welsh identity in a modern and vibrant Wales, and its inhabitants are almost all Welsh speaking. The choir has travelled extensively, to Canada, the U.S., Argentina, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore and Portugal. In November 2003 it visited New Zealand for the 3rd time and Australia for the 7th. In 2005 and 2006 it participated in Saint Patricks Day celebrations in Macroom, County Cork, and returned to Patagonia in the autumn of 2007. Cr Godrer Aran has achieved repeated success in Male Choir competitions; between 1989 and 1993, it won four victories at the National Eisteddfod of Wales and, in 2001, returned to the National Eisteddfod and triumphed once more. Cr Godrer Aran won first prize at the International Eisteddfod at Llangollen in 1996, 2000, 2005 and 2008, and won the BBC Radio Cymru Male Choir of the Year competition in 2005. A new CD, Cofio, was released in the summer of 2009. The choir has shared platforms with the Bands of the Royal Marines, Grenadier Guards, Royal Scots Guards, Pipes and Drums, and has welcomed renowned international guest artists to perform with it. Singers are from farming and various rural occupations and are held together by a strong bond of friendship and a love of singing. In addition, the choir has its own talented soloists whose contributions
are invaluable."
