LONDON WELSH RUGBY CLUB CHOIR The London Welsh Rugby Club has a long and illustrious history , and its latest torchbearers – the London Welsh Rugby Club Choir – are spreading the good name of the club through music and friendship .
Since its formation in 2003 , under the presidency of Wales and British and Irish Lions legend John Dawes OBE , the choir has brought its unique sound to sell out audiences across the UK , Europe and New Zealand . With strong ties to both their Welsh roots and the exile community centred around London Welsh ’ s famous Old Deer Park , further highprofile appearances on national radio and television followed , including its defining moment , performing at the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony in front of a worldwide audience of more than one billion .

And the choir he presides over goes from strength to strength too , with its 40-strong members kept firmly in line by musical director Michael Wyn Jones . Jones has been a member of the BBC Symphony Chorus and the 1998 Choir of the year Exmoor Singers , and is responsible for a development of the choir few could have predicted . The repertoire has been expanded , a new style of singing introduced and innovations developed wherever possible . The result is a choir singing with an infectious enthusiasm .
