Synopsis
Biennal choir contest with a great deal less hype and pizazz than what you'd expect from the like of Last Choir Standing (which rather indicates our little soft spot for S4C).
Winners from five category-based heats (Male, Female, Mixed, Youth and Children) take part in a grand final for the title of best choir in the Land of My Fathers along with a tidy £7,000 or so.
2007 saw the introduction of an £1,000 prize for the best conductor during the series.

Trivia
