[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

I seriously want flash mobs to return. I miss them!

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

They have a special place don't they. Where are you from?

[@billwatt2528]

I agree with you. 1000%

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Will be doing another performance towards the end of this year 2024

[@MichaelMcColl-v9x]

[@ceceliahayslip56]

Sure to bring a tear to the eye...Welsh men singing...and Scottish bagpipes....soproud of my heritage...

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Hi Cecilia, wonderful to hear your comments. I agree with everything you said. It still brings a tear to my eye and I don't know how many times I have watched it. Here's another video worthy of a watch. Its a video we put together in South Africa. Let me know if you liked it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0p32CgtWab9E

Nice to see the NZ rugby jersey, celebrating the old rivalry between Wales and the AB's.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

I'll have to edit that out. Just joking.

[@nzsooz3884]

@FishguardandGoodwick Haha don't you dare. 😃

[@lydiawichmann7]

It is so heart warming to see the young people boys and girls are not afraid to share their talents . Keep it up! We need music to heal the world

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Hero's, every one of them. Yes, its a very appropriate song for right now.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Just thought I would let you know about our other flash mob. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0p32CgtWab9E

[@beccabbea2511]

From one part of Wales to another part of Wales Thank you that was amazing, it brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Hi Becca, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that comment. My eyes were all smarting up at the very first rehearsal. What a fine body of human beings. This is a link to another type of flash mob I was involved with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0p32CgtWab9E

[@Brendan-q2j]

Just come across this - wonderful. Love the sentiments of the song, the singing , and the dancing. Well done to all of those responsible. More of it. Thank you.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

I appreciate your kind words. The composition, crafted by the British composer Gustav Holst, carries a timeless significance. Penned in 1934, its relevance persists in 2023 and seemingly will forever. I am Presently in Cyprus, exploring the prospect of orchestrating a flash mob here. For me, flash mobs epitomizes the, offering of impromptu performances to unsuspecting audiences without any cost. These spontaneous displays are truly a heartfelt gift from the performers.

[@patricequinn7733]

It seems that they're singing a song that's well-known to the audience.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

The renowned British composer Gustav Holst penned this composition, passing away in 1934. Surprisingly, his creation found a modern-day resonance as the anthem for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Given Wales' fervent passion for rugby, the anthem was already a familiar and cherished tune among the Welsh. It's noteworthy that the choir, not the producer, made the selection, and I couldn't have been more delighted with their choice.

[@GSHants]

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻 Wowsers truly beautiful, that really lifted my spirits

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Your enthusiasm shines through. Working with such genuinely amazing people makes creating incredible results a natural conclusion. Whitland and District Male Choir and Lowris dance troop. Wow

[@lindaolphin7897]

I live in Pennsylvania in the USA and I enjoyed this men’s choir very much, it lifts my spirits 👍🥰

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

It makes me so happy to hear you say that. Welsh choirs are very special. Do they have male choirs in Pennsylvania? I am thinking the next flash mob will be with an Irish folk band. What do you think?

[@SMcCaskill]

Beautiful!

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

The Fishguard Food Festival 2024 kicks off 11th October. We have to try and up the ante. Look out for it.

Thank you! It’s a shame world leaders can’t feel this…

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Its good of you to leave a comment. World leaders are like children locked in a room together, but not quite as well behaved! The feeling of world peace only comes from civilians.

[@dawnnelmes3943]

Wowie! I remember the tingles lasted for the whole song. It was amazing!! 😍 Well done Steve Mandy and team!! You did good 🎉

[@barendtobe6059]

Well done !!! greetings from Utrecht Netherlands

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

It inspires me to hear our video reached Utrecht. Do you have male choirs there? I'm planning another flash mob, it is probably going to be an Irish folk band. Your thoughts?

Well done. Such a beautiful song also.

Thanks Grant, really appreciate that. They are a superb bunch of people. There's another video worthy of a view. Its a flash mob we put together in South Africa kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0p32CgtWab9E Let me know what you think.

[@grantfraser5430]

@@FishguardandGoodwick No denying the talented voices. I'm less a fan of opera though but thanks for the recommendation. It sounded like a sad song but I have no idea what they were saying. I kind of thought the piano could use a short tuning session also.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

The Piano had been neglected for a long time. I had it tuned before the event but thats the best they could do. :( Thanks for responding, its very encouraging and also tells google that people are interested.

[@songsmith31a]

The tune would ring a bell with Gustav Holst!

[@SteveMandylifestyle]

When we chose the song, I tried to get hold of him to ask permission. As you probably know, he hasn't been around for quite a while@@songsmith31a

[@toshbrittan7481]

Amazing, truly wonderful ✨

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

We are all very proud of the Whitland and District Male Choir and Lowri's Dance Group

[@frankhooper7871]

Nice words for a great song - much better than the mawkish "I vow to thee my country"!

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Great song indeed! Where are you from?

[@snesmonkey]

Fabulous stuff, just watching through the screen stirs the soul...would have loved to have been there! ❤❤

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Thank you so much. This was the first time I worked with these guys, but since then we have become friends. This year, I went on tour with them to Ireland. I have a couple of videos of them on my other channel. This is probably the best one.kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJTKe5iMr8-Voqs There is another I am proud of, of an opera flashmob.kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0p32CgtWab9E

[@vickymoller3651]

and so so relevant to world events, this was October 21st 2023, when the onslaught on Gaza was bursting on the world, it has gathered momentum til today, but I do ask myself which is stronger, the love and tradition shown by this Welsh community singing for world harmony or the hate and total destruction.

[@teflonlettuce4197]

Not forgetting of course the devastating terrorist attack launched on Israel from Gaza which caused the IDF to be sent into Gaza....

[@vickymoller3651]

not true, IDF already occupied gaza, thats why its called occupied territory but lets not discuss here where the call is is for unity through the song, this not place for political debate as people usually too entrenched to listen! @@teflonlettuce4197 tt

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Humans are wired to form tribes and fight each other. The best we can do, is to transfer that desire to sports fields. I, myself am human, doomed to align myself with one group or another. The best we all can do, is to work the areas of influence we have to show and emphasize the other side of humanity. Make it stand taller.

Weird Lyric.Far too (er,) "modern" for the melody...

I try to reply to every comment, but I am not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate?

[@nzsooz3884]

This was done for the rugby world cup years ago. I think it was first sung by Kiri Te Kanawa.

[@FishguardandGoodwick]

Its an old song written by Gustav holtz. I tried to get hold of him to seek his approvel but he died a long time ago. There will be a new flash mob coming later this year. Stay close.
