A championship winning Swindon choir has enjoyed more success after picking up three honours at a festival.

The Wessex returned triumphant from the Bangor International Choral Festival with a haul of trophies.

The Wessex were celebrated as Best Male Voice Choir, Best Sacred Performance, and Best Visiting Choir.

The success comes off the back of the choir's strong performance at the mid Somerset festival.

Chairman Andy Entwistle said: "This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication of each member of The Wessex.

"We are proud to represent Swindon on the international stage, and to champion local talents."

The choir is set to compete at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts later this month, and is preparing for its summer concert on June 29 at Swindon's Christ Church.

Jointly with the Barry Male Voice Choir, the evening promises to showcase the talents that make The Wessex one of the UK's most accomplished male voice choirs.

New members are always welcome and those interested are encouraged to get in touch.

The Wessex currently has 50 members of various ages across four sections.
