I just came upon this yesterdy and found these young men so angelically talented. I want to say I am sorry for Ryan Howells passing. 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. 🌹😘🏴
And to the Choir Master whose vision, belief and perserverance with those boys gave the world this fabulous Choir... we thank you. You did an amazing job! The world is now a richer place because of you.
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.
Only Men Aloud then Only Boys Aloud and NOW Only Kids Aloud! WOW! Can we please now have a Only The Rest Of The World Aloud! So love this journey and hope it never ends!
then, beyond the unspeakable joy of the performance, when you throw in the fact that this is a beloved Welsh hymn? Just incredible! Thank you Tim, and all the gang. Again.
All I can say about OMA and OBA is ---- time for an American tour!! You can do for traditional Welsh music what youth choirs from around the world have done with their cultures for decades. You are the Vienna Boys Choir of the new millenium. Absolutely awesome!!!!
Whatever stress I feel, it's enough to listen and watch this beautiful song sung by the most magnificent choir in the world, and I feel peace permeating my soul and heart, relaxing my tension. Those voices are so pure and clean that I always have an impression of angels singing. Thank you for lightening my heart and filling my life with hope and joy!
Victor Hunt well then you must be a Calon Lan. :) I am writing a 5 minute children's story about this marvelous song. Here is link if you would like to read the preview :) this link will give you my story about Calon lan. janefrizzell.blogspot.com/2016/06/preview-call-me-sarge.html
Superb, Just Superb, and we were there to experience it live. Tim Rhys Evans, OMA and the OMA Team has done a superb job with Only Boys Aloud and Only Kids Aloud absolutely brilliant. 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.
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.
Absolutely great - rent the film "How Green was my Valley" to hear a half dozen or more of these great hymns sung ostensibly by the Welsh Coal miners. What a tradition, and thank God these youngsters have been inspired to continue this great and noble tradition.

Really, how can anyone feel this deserves any negativity. These are kids who are sometimes in poverty, bad environments and drop outs. Look at that have made of themselves. And they make music that is amazing.
The first main vocalist has grown so much since his BGT days! I LOVE this song, and though I'm having a hard time connecting the lyrics to the pronunciation, I WILL LEARN THEM! =p
The rugby sang this in Nice this weekend in flash mob but nothing as great as the quality of these lads but still wonderful. Wales has serious top class singers hoooooray for Wales and rugby .
To my dad who passed in February his birthday 31st October miss him so much
Just amazing
Brilliant...stunning....amazing....just 3 words to describe these young men .....Wales are proud of you and so am I.......and I'm Scottish
I do hope these boys went on to a good future ....can't believe this is nearly 10 years ago....
Soloist on the right did medicine at Oxford & is now a Dr in London training to be a surgeon

Wales must be bursting with pride.

I get goose bumps no matter how many times I watch this. I wish I knew the words in English.

Still cry when I hear them singing this song….Asking GOD’S continued blessings on all of you !
