Choir visit to HMP Berwyn

Cantorion Rhos were guests of honour at HMP Berwyn at the beginning of May. The Governor Russ Trent invited us to sing to an audience of residents and staff. The reception from the audience was almost electric, with a standing ovation and request for an encore. We were delighted to share the stage with the residents’ Music Group who played a number of well known songs. This invitation is hopefully the start of a new relationship with both residents and staff, bringing more music into their working days. This was an amazing experience for all involved including the guided tour of this brand spanking new prison and all its positive elements. A huge thanks to all at HMP Berwyn for such a warm welcome.
