Making Music's Co-Chief Executive, Barbara Eifler, reports on her recent experience at the mass Welsh male voice choirs' concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
I'm not sure what I was expecting from such an event, but perhaps to come out being utterly charmed wasn't it.
To some, male voice choirs might have a reputation for being old-fashioned, or just plain old, and their repertoire – and uniforms – maybe don't immediately speak to us not familiar with the genre, or to a younger generation, to suggest a must-see concert.
