Every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, their faces pop up: Norman, Nigel, Alan, Dai and the others. Itâs become second nature to close the door at 6.30pm, click the Zoom link, check if everyoneâs well, ask if anyoneâs fled beyond Swansea, have a laugh. Then the men mute themselves, and the singing begins.
They sing along on their own, watching their friendsâ silent faces, imagining the rousing sound they make all together, from the heart, from the gut: singing to each other hymns, spirituals and songs from musicals.
