A Grand Night For Singing

Have a look at our short promo video A Grand Night For Singing. This combines the voices of the Morriston Orpheus Choir with the thrilling sounds of the Band of the Royal Marines. Originally released in 1976, it has been digitally re-mastered and released on CD format. To mark the US bicentenary when the LP was first released the US Marine Corps Hymn was specially included - a verse of the hymn is heard on the video.
