Chepstow Male Voice Choir celebrates its 20th anniversary this year - and eight of the original singers are still going strong.

The "ever presents" are Cyril Collins, Naylor Firth, Mike Barnes, Geoff Walker, DaiThomas, John Markey, Bill Morgan and Alan Rowles.

A number of events are planned to celebrate the formation of the choir in March 1988.

The annual concert will take place at Chepstow Leisure Centre on Saturday, May 17 at 7pm. Tickets for this concert are now on sale at the Leisure Centre; Herbert Lewis's store and at the Tourist Information Centre, or from any member of the choir.

The choir will be performing in Trellech Church as a contribution to the Trellech Festival, on Saturday, May 10. The choristers enjoy the experience in this building as the acoustics are so good which always makes a difference to the effects of a performance.
