- Cardiff Reds Choir - Côr Cochion Caerdydd (Cardiff Reds Choir) came together in 1983, when events in Chile, South Africa, and at home
in Wales demanded that they use their voices in protest. Since then, they have raised many thousands of pounds and
campaigned in support of peace, justice and freedom in Britain and around the world.
They are a familiar sight collecting as they sing on the streets of Cardiff, on picket lines, demonstrations and
in concerts. Their repertoire of a cappella songs for mixed voices ranges from traditional favourites (often
revamped hymn tunes) to arrangements from the Arabic and contemporary protest songs.
