This is an extrodinary program and these kids are the best at what they do. I was in my schools choir for 6 years and they were 6 of the best years of my life. Keep the program Going

    I love this choir and every time I hear them I'm moved to tears. I think of the struggles the Welsh miners have had throughout the ages and how proud they'd be of these boys. It's so beautiful to hear their sound. And as for Tim, what a humble and totally inspirational man . God bless you all. 🌹😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    One of these lads gave us a rendition of this song on a visit to the horse drawn boats in Llangollen. We were asking him general questions and about himself but we never knew his choir was this famous. We were spellbound. He told us they had won and the penny still didn't drop. Put it all together later. What a great lad he was and is.

    I'm not that far from Wales (in the West Mids). butI marvel at how SO many in Wales have such amazing voices - it must be connected, somehow, to the legacy of generations going back to the coal miners and the suffering of them and their families in years gone by, in that they formed choirs and that was reflected in the spirit of the music/songs - and, also, the Welsh Revival of the early 20th century.
    What is for sure is that these young men are an incredible example to so many of their peers (I hope).
    I think if I was a teenage girl (as I was many years ago :) ), I would have pics of these on my bedroom wall along with Donny Osmond :)
    They are completely cool - and I hope young people, as well as older ones, will grasp what true coolness is, more and more.

We are proud parents of Aberdare OBA member Nathan Coles, this has not only been an experience of a lifetime for OBA but I think I say it for all Parents of OBA members, that it has been an experience of a lifetime for all of us too!!! Thank you most sincerely to Tim Rhys Evans for your dream becoming reality.
