The Fron Male Voice Choir will be in New York from August 22nd until August 29th. They will be giving two free concerts in the city. The first at 12:30pm Tuesday 23rd August at St. Bart's Church, located at the corner of Park Avenue and 51st Street. The second concert is on Wednesday 24th August at 1:30pm at St Patrick's Cathedral, 460 Madison Avenue.

The choir is being followed by two film crews one from ITV Wales who are producing a 30min documentary for UK National TV and one from S4C who are producing a 60 min documentary for the Welsh language TV station back in Wales.

Any member of AmeriCymru who is planning on going to either of the concerts or even meeting the choir (We are staying at the Wolcott Hotel) can you make yourself known to David Thomas Jones, and you could end up on TV back in Wales. S4C are interesting in interviewing anyone in America who is using social media to keep in contact with Wales.
