Some came from Abercynon And others from Porthcawl. All singers and musicians, In Swansea's Brangwyn Hall We learned from the professionals, And Rebecca's host gave voice To a song of Shostakovitch, The composer of our choice Then in the Hall we gathered And laid our music down. T'was a day we'll all remember, When Dimitrie came to town. Many thanks for a marvelous day.

THANK YOU FOR ORGANISING SUCH A FANTASTIC EVENT! My daughter has just returned from "Play it Again" at the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, this morning and both her and her Dad cannot stop talking about what a brilliant time they have had. They have really enjoyed playing with the orchestra and are going to practice their music more in the future! They are both so enthusiastic about everything.Please pass on our sincere thanks to all involved.

Excellent morning, really enjoyed myself and met all my aims. Interesting meeting others with similar musical abilities - or lack of!

Patricia Thomas
i really enjoyed the event especially as i played with the bbc ochestra. the violinist that i was paired with taught me to emprove my technique. The conducter got everybody involved and made the day very entertaining. My brother also played the drums in the percussion group with Aled Jones but he was very pleased to have the chance to play the drums for ERIC STAMS from drumtech, this made his day.Thankyou for this great opportunity.

Emily from Newbury
Against all the odds, I did make it from Newbury to Swansea for 9.30 am and am very pleased that I did. I very much enjoyed the morning and was very impressed with the way in which such a large number of people were co-ordinated and conducted during the performance at the end. The tips the piccoloist gave me were also very helpful.

Kim from Gorseinon
Just a note to thank you for arranging our attendance at the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea on Saturday. The children and I had an experience that will stay with us all as a cherished memory. It was the first time the children had heard an orchestra live and at first, thought that they were listening to a recording.The performances were as exiting to listen to as to participate in and the facilitators were excellent at encouraging our efforts. I have special thanks for Aled Jones who had the dubious pleasure of keeping my son in time on his drum kit.All of the adoring grandparents that came along to witness their little darlings in action were suitably impressed and have the photographs to prove it.We have nothing but praise for the whole event and would not hesitate to recommend it in future.

Well my husband Graham and I went to Swansea, and I am still thinking of the experience that I had, the sound of all the violins playing together were incredible as I only play the violin on my own or with my tutor, I am hoping to find other violinist to play with but finding this difficult, it has been a dream come true, I've only every dreamt that one day I could play with an orchastra, I thankyou for the dream that came true xx

Donna, Jennna and Lucy
We attended the event and had a fab time. Even got to meet Aled Jones. It was amazing to see how all the groups were taught and how they were brought together to have a successful piece of music played.

Robert Waygood
Absolutley brilliant day. So well organised and thought out.It has given me a great deal of renewed enthusiasm, confidence and committment to playing my instrument again.

Ingrid Jones
Thank you for a fantastic morning.My 9 year old sons are learning to play the violin and were totally inspired.

Heather Fraser
I thoroughly enjoyed the event. A wonderful experience likened to nothing I've had before.Thanks to all those who organised it, it was well worth it. I feel privileged to have taken part.
