Côr Cymraeg for Welsh learners, improvisation, community choirs
I have been leading songs since 2005, with singers in Mid-Wales and Cardiff. I currently lead Eosau Nightingales choir, a Singing for Fun Friday morning group, as well as Côr Cymraeg which is for Welsh language learners. I love how singing brings us shared fun and feeling, and enhances our awareness of eachother.

We learn songs in Welsh as a way of supporting Welsh language learning. The teaching is bilingual. Everybody is welcome whatever your level of Welsh. Fluent Welsh speakers are of course welcome too. We sometimes have guest tutors, usually Welsh singer-songwriters who teach us their compositions. The atmosphere is relaxed and we have tea and biscuits in the break.
Every 3rd Saturday of the month except August. 11am until 1pm.
We are funded by Credu, the Welsh charity supporting carers. Our original members are carers and we now welcome everyone. It is free to attend.
Eosau is the Welsh word for Nightingales, chosen after we sang “I have a Million Nightingales” by Linda Hirschhorn and Mahmoud Darwish.
“The sessions have a significant impact on my health because singing helps my breathing, and on my well-being because I love to sing, and especially to sing with others. It is both uplifting and grounding, and very precious!”
“It’s wonderful being able to have some time out from being a carer. Singing, chatting and exercising with other people for a while, and Iona always makes it feel easy and undemanding, which is just what you need!” – Jill
Fridays 11am - 12.30pm
