Last night I spent the evening at a wonderful concert at the Onllwyn Welfare Hall.

The concert was hosted by Onllwyn Male Voice Choir and was put together to help raise funds for a brilliant young Welsh tenor Matthew Ioan-Sims. As well as the Choir Matthewwas also supported by the well known soprano Annwen Williams who sang beautifully.

Mattew has a terrific voice, good sence of humourand a great presence on stage, he has been studying under Patricia O'Neill with vocal coaching from Micheal Pollock and will shortly bestudying under the internationalrenowned Dennis O'Oneill.
