THE SUN keeps shining and the music keeps flowing as Choir with No Name Cardiff presents its summer gig on Saturday, August 8 at 5:00 PM at Urban Crofters.
The choir, which is formed of people with experience of homelessness, will be joined by special guests country singer-songwriter Bella Coupland, The Wallich Creative Arts Collection, Cygg Oliver, and Chelsie Robinson.
Run in association with homelessness and rough sleeping charity The Wallich, the Cardiff choir was formed in 2021 and has been rehearsing weekly in Butetown ever since.
Audiences can expect an atmosphere full of welcome and celebration, packed with familiar favourites and joyful harmonies – plus a chance to sing along.
The choir is also thrilled to welcome its host of special Welsh performers, who will be adding their own sparkle to the evening. This is more than a concert; it is a celebration of resilience, community, and the joy of singing together.
A member of the Choir with No Name Cardiff said: “For me, the choir represents the very best of community spirit: service, compassion, and connection. It is a place where people can find purpose and a sense of home. The choir stands as a lifeline, a family, and a reminder that no one is beyond rebuilding. Week by week, rehearsal by rehearsal, meal by meal, it proves that harmony is not just something we sing – it is something we live and experience together.”
The Choir with No Name Cardiff meets every Tuesday at 6:00pm at Butetown Community Centre. Each rehearsal is followed by a hot meal cooked by volunteers, offering members a safe, welcoming space to sing, connect, and grow in confidence.
Proceeds and donations from the CWNN Cardiff Summer Gig will directly support the ongoing work of the choir, helping to provide creative, inclusive opportunities for people who have experienced homelessness.
There are an estimated 128 people sleeping rough across Wales and more than 10,000 people living in temporary housing. Projects like Choir With No Name offer a chance to feel part of a community and alleviate the stress of poor mental health and homelessness.
