We are so happy that the wonderful Bronwen Lewis has accepted ourt invitation to become a patron of the choir. 

Bronwen has been a long-time fierece ally to our community and has been a huge support to the choir over the last several years. 

We're so grateful to Brownen for using her platform to raise LGBTQ+ voices, a dedication that deserves to be rewarded. We look forward to continuing to work with Bronwen through our ever strengthening relationship. 

Gordon Tovey

We’re delighted that Gordon agreed to be a patron of South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus.  A long-time supporter of LGBTQ+ culture and inclusion, he has been a role model and advocate for minority groups across South Wales.

A founding member of Cardiff’s Mardi Gras and Street Party, he has opened the doors of his pubs to celebrate and promote our rich and diverse culture.  He’s provided a platform to sustain and enrich our drag scene, helped develop local talent by hosting the Wales heats of Drag Idol, supported queer fashion shows, a range of LGBT-related charities and fund-raisers and gone out of his way to sponsor and support LGBTQ+ clubs and societies like ours. 

On a practical level and over a sustained period, he’s facilitated regular opportunities for us to perform for his customers, sponsored our polo shirts, and provided us with space for our committee meetings and for after-concert celebrations.  His energy and commitment to us, and the wider queer community over a sustained period needed more than just a ‘thank you’ so we’re hugely proud that we can now recognise a much-loved stalwart of the scene, Gordon Tovey, as our Patron.
