Choir History
The choir was formed 1965 in Tumble, a village in the Gwendraeth Valley Carmarthenshire, a past mining area, rich in the language and culture of Wales. Every member of the choir is Welsh speaking.
The choir has made a valuable contribution to numerous charitable organisations throughout Britain, and has been successful on five occations on the Royal National Eisteddfod platform, as well as at other eisteddfodau. Also in 2000, the choir was successful in winning the Male Voice competition at the Jersey International Music Festival, where choirs from all over Europe took part.
The choir has taken part in massed choir festivals for the Welsh Association of Male Choirs as well as with the London Welsh choir, at the Royal Albert Hall, the Birmingham Symphony Hall, the Colston Hall in Bristol, and the Winter Gardens in Bournemouth.
In 1989, the choir made friends with the Frohsinn Male choir from Mulhein on the Ruhr, with their new found German friends paying a return visit the following year. The choir made such an impression on the Mulheim City Fathers, that in May of 1992, the choir was invited by the City Fathers to help them celebrate their European Year of the Festival Of Flowers.
In November 1993, the choir was honoured when it was invited to represent the Welsh Association of Male Choirs at the Centenary Banquet of the University of Wales in cardiff, when the Prince of Wales, Mrs Mary Robinson the Irish President, and the Aga Khan were present.
Ffurfiwyd Côr Meibion Mynydd Mawr yn 1965 yn y Tymbl, pentref yng ngwm Gwendraeth Sir Caerfyrddin, bro sy'n dal i anrhydeddu ein hiaith an diwylliant.
Dros y blynyddoedd, mae'r côr wedi cynnal cyngerddau dros Brydain gyfan, ac hefyd yn Ewrop, a rhan helaeth ohonynt er lles achosion da, a chymdeithasau eluseugar. Er mae hyn yn prif nod a phleser i Meibion Mynydd Mawr, mae nhw'n cael dipyn o flas ar gystadlu hefyd, ac yn y cyswllt hwn, mae nhw'n falch
