It's a pity that the tradition of male voice choirs in Wales is disappearing...
But it appears to be that there will be no problem with the young generation of choristes only in colleges and universities, where both older and younger people are not only geographically united but have rather closer realationship as members of the same educational community.
For our male voice choir, e.g., it is easier to keep the tradition, because we are a University's choir and have a permanent inflow of young choristes. 10-20 students start to sing in the choir in their freshman year, 5-10 keep on singing till the end of their study, 1-5 do not leave the choir after graduation. And though most students leave the choir, nevertheless the half of the choir's concert part is represented by young generation.
Great singer, great character. Great choir

By the way, a long time ago (in 1995) we were in Llandudno and gave a concert in Rhyl with the Côr Meibion Colwyn.

But the choir's "skeleton staff" is of course the older choristes who sing here for 10, 20,... years.
