_'It is a real pleasure to sing with the Canoldir boys. They exude passion, commitment and professionalism, and it's a privilege to share a stage with them. Not only are they a welcoming and friendly bunch, they make singing a fun experience and James keeps the music-making vibrant and focussed. No wonder they win prizes!'

“It was sheer joy in each of the items, mighty or reflective, to be drawn into the music by all the colour, They sang as one and not one note of some complex harmonies was lost. At the end of the programme there was a spontaneous and wholly deserved standing ovation” - Llanymynech Parish Magazine
This is a very well trained choir with fine tonal resources and energetic tone... phrasing is always musical. A well chosen programme showed the choir's many qualities. Well done.'
