CEFN HENGOEN, WALES — A CHOIR will be celebrating 65 years by singing for the speaker of the House of Commons.
Cefn Hengoed Ladies’ Choir have been invited to sing by the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow at his State Rooms in the Speaker’s House in Westminster on Wednesday October 31.
MP for Caerphilly Wayne David will be inviting a number of Welsh MPs and peers to the event. The choir has also been offered a tour of the Palace of Westminster.
