The men of Welsh valleys community choirs from Treorchy or Tylorstown do not often stand shoulder to shoulder to sing with choral scholars from Cambridge University – but every July, late into the night, that’s now what happens at the Clarence Inn in Brecon.
Set up by a team of volunteers in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic as a way to bring people back together, the Brecon choir festival, now in its fourth year, has built on the Welsh tradition of communal singing to create a unique and ambitious celebration of song and choral music.
