A one I’ll treasure Emmie

Sounds fab, Bobbi. Hope you have a great time. I want to take Mrs Clarion to London soon just so I can take her to a lovely restaurant on Whitehall called Cafe Concerto. A lovely place. I've had a few breakfasts there when I've been for Remembrance Sunday.

[Bobbisox1]

Boaty I love the popular classics such as the William Tell overture, the 1812 , Bolero etc and often play them at home but to actually be part of the atmosphere is going to be so memorable

[Bobbisox1]

10c that’s lovely , I hope you get to take her

[emmie]

We took my Mum to the RAH to see the 1000 Voice Welsh Choir many years ago and the atmosphere was incredible. I hope this post works it's from 2019. I didn't realise they still did these concerts I'll have to look into it. I hope you have a wonderful time Bobbisox

[Bobbisox1]

Ah Margo many thanks, I’m deliriously happy about going , I’ll have a listen to your clip now

Sanmac, if you’re still reading this thread, on a journey back to Toronto from Timmins we stopped at a place on the shores of Lake Ontario where there were ships moored but I can’t remember what it was called. Is that likely to be where you went to the open air concert?

[Bobbisox1]

Is that Men of Harlech ?
It’s fabulous , gives me goose bumps

[MargoTester]

It's the Welsh National Anthem (Land ofmy Fathers) Bobbi. It always makes me think of my Mum and shed a little tear

[Bobbisox1]

I love Welsh Male Voice choirs Margo, sorry for getting it wrong btw, your Mum must have been a very proud welsh lady ?

[MargoTester]

No problem Bobbi. Yes she was from a tiny village in South Wales called Pontycymer and her father was the leading tenor soloist in the Royal Welsh Male Voice Choir, a really big deal in those days. That's why we wanted to take her to that concert, which we all throughly enjoyed

[Bobbisox1]

Beautiful memories for you to keep Margo

[MargoTester]

Yes indeed :-)

[Maydup]

I'm a bit late to this party, but I'm delighted to hear your update Bobbi; especially good to know you've been able to upgrade to the stalls. Something to look forward to for sure.
