Chepstow and Mansfield male voice choirs perform together
More than 50 choristers from Chepstow Male Voice Choir (CMVC) and Mansfield Male Voice Choir joined together to perform.
The audience included Chepstow's deputy mayor.
CMVC invited Mansfield to come and join them for this joint concert, finishing off their tour of Cardiff and the surrounding areas.
Both choirs played together in a joint performance but also performed separately.
The evening also featured Clive Lewis playing the cornet.
This event was organised after the two choirs performed for the charity last year at The Royal Albert Hall in London.
Bill Evans, CMVC events manager said: "They are a top choir and have invited us to join them in Manfield in 2027".
Kirsten Watson, the musical director at Chepstow Male Voice Choir, said: "The day was outstandingly successful in showing our Welsh hospitality, of camaraderie between choristers and musicians and the resulting concert of wonderful music making."

Actress Ruth Jones to guest present The Archers Podcast
The Welsh actress will be joined by Archers cast members Charlotte Martin (Susan Carter) and Wilf Scolding (Chris Carter), along with Sarah McDonald Hughes, the writer of this week's episodes. The podcast will be available exclusively on BBC Sounds from 7.15pm on Friday. Jones, who co-wrote and co-starred in Gavin & Stacey, described herself as a 'massive Archers addict'. In the podcast she delves into the Carter family's complex history, including Chris's turbulent relationship with Alice and a powerful archive flashback to his birth in 1988, when he was born with a unilateral cleft lip and rejected by his mother. Jones also picks her two favourite scenes of the week, reveals her favourite quirky Archers character traits, and poses some burning questions about unresolved storylines in the fictional village of Ambridge. Jones said: 'I've been an avid fan of The Archers since the early 90s. 'Despite being an actress and writer myself, the thought of actually being in The Archers, or writing it, absolutely terrifies me because in my mind Ambridge really exists.' The Archers Podcast is released weekly every Friday, immediately after The Archers is broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is usually presented by Emma Freud, who is on holiday this week. The first national episode of The Archers was broadcast on the BBC on January 1 1951.

Sir Anthony Hopkins mocks Kim Kardashian's face wrap
The Welsh actor who was born in Bridgend, went to Monmouth Boys' school in Pontypool and has links to Newport, rebirthed his Hannibal Lecter character to mock Kardashian's SKIMS face wrap. Fans were left howling when Kardashian launched her new 'Ultimate Face' product from her shapewear line, comparing the garment to the Silence of the Lambs' villain Lecter's bite restraint mask worn by Hopkins in the 1991 film. Hopkins was awarded an Oscar for his on-screen role as the cannibal and wore a nude post-surgical mask in a social media post saying: 'Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger. Goodbye.' This was before he recreated the legendary 'fava beans and Chianti' scene and captioned the clip: 'Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner.' Fans responded with hilarity online, expressing their shock at Hopkins being the one they expected to roast Kim about her new product.
