Captured at Crossway Baptist Church, East Burwood, on Thursday 16 December 1999, this is the choir’s tenth annual Christmas charity concert.
Since 1990 these concerts have raised more than $200,000 for Mid-Eastern Palliative Care. Proceeds from this recording continue that support.
The programme sets Welsh staples such as Men of Harlech, Sospan Fach and Gwahoddiad beside carols, a Christmas medley and other seasonal and popular items.
