LIVE from Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff - simulcast with Radio Cymru and Radio Wales, presented by Nicola Heywood-Thomas

After discussions with Guinness World Records, we are going to attempt to set a new world record - The Greatest Distance Between Singers of a Duet.

It will happen at Hoddinott Hall, Wales Millennium Centre, and Y Wladfa in Patagonia, to the accompaniment of the 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales (conductor - John Quirk), and will be a live broadcast on 91热爆 Radio Cymru, 91热爆 Radio Wales and 91热爆 Radio 3, simultaneously.

The song in question will be the Welsh hymn Calon Lan, with the first and second verses being sung as a duet between Shan Cothi in Cardiff and Andres Evans in Patagonia (7000+ miles away). So as well as celebrating the first ever 91热爆 Music Day, we will also be part of the ongoing, year-long celebrations, noting 150 years since the first Welsh settlers left for Patagonia.

The first and second chorus, along with the third verse and repeated chorus at the end will be sung by a choir in Patagonia (Cor Ysgol Gerdd y Gaiman), and an inter-generational composite choir in Hoddinott Hall. The composite choir in Cardiff will be made up of the in-house Radio Cymru choir, members of the 91热爆 NOW Chorus, members of the 91热爆 Choir of the Year - Cor CF1, and Wales Millennium Centre/Only Kids Aloud Chorus (conducted by the Music Day ambassador - Tim Rhys Evans).
