2008 saw fierce competition in every category and made for edge of your seat viewing! 14 choirs arrived, each with their own unique fan club filled with the hope of triumphing for 2008. They each gave a spectacular performance and were warmly greeted by fans old and new.

Runners up in the male voice category, Kidderminster gave a brilliant unexpected performance to those still at the venue after hours in the arena foyer. When they broke into song, staff and spectators alike were stopped in their tracks as they looked on in awe.

The festival couldn’t take place without the support of its sponsors. We’d like to thank Conwy County Borough Council, Stena Line, North Wales Pioneer, Pianos Cymru, Design 2 Print and the St George’s Hotel for their continued support in helping this event to grow. New sponsors are always welcome to help the festival develop further.
