Aelwyd Pantycelyn
Everyone and anyone is welcome to join the Pantycelyn choir. This is definitely one of the best ways to get to know other students from every year and there is always plenty of fun in the practices. The choir meets regularly on Tuesday and Thursday nights in the small lounge in Pantycelyn. As well as competing in the Cerdd Dant festival and the Urdd Eisteddfod and performing in concerts and services, the choir is known for its ‘lively’ nights out and everybody enjoys singing the old favorites in the Coopers. So join in even if you haven’t been a member of a choir before but want to try out something new, because that is the whole purpose of university. The conductor is Manon Mai Rhys mnr5@aber.ac.uk. Also if you are a good dancer you will be warmly welcomed by the Folk Dancing crew and the Recitation group also competes enthusiastically every year.
