One Welsh tradition is singing. Allegedly. Of course it isn't. The Land of Song was a moniker attached to Wales by the English. Historically, Wales has never been more of a singing country than the rest of the UK.

As a result of this "heritage", we have hundreds of male voice choirs around the country, most of them struggling with ageing memberships and still singing the old shit they have for decades upon decades. New choirs, such as Only Men Aloud, are the future of male voice singing in Wales, yet I see so many traditional choirs clinging onto the past because it makes them feel comfortable.

Tradition, identity and heritage hasn't been decided forever. It changes. New things will become a part of our culture while some old things are no longer of relevance. We need to embrace change. We can nod to the past, sure, nothing wrong in respecting that, of course. In 100 years I bet there'll be little mentioned about our mining heritage as, generation by generation, it gets forgotten.
I disagree with your views on old choirs being shit.
How would you like Welsh Choir culture be controlled and dictated to by a globalist organisation?
