  • Cor Meibion Morlais

Who are they?

The Choir was formed in February 1928 when Mr Alfred Morgan staged an evening of entertainment at Ebenezer Chapel, Tylorstown, with a group of a dozen singers calling themselves the Mustard Club. By 1931 the Choir was winning prizes at Eisteddfodau and was in great demand throughout Wales and southern England. Then, in 1932, the Choir began a series of Annual Concerts in Ferndale with principal solo artists of international repute - Dame Gwyneth Jones, Heddle Nash and Stuart Burrows. The choir has toured abroad and continue to raise money for various charities.
